Other EVENTS of Interest:

At the March 1st  meeting we will present the Joey Vincent a “One-Man Musical Variety Show”.  Joey is a musical impressionist, a trumpet virtuoso, a singer, dancer and comic.  No matter what your tastes are in entertainment, the Joey Vincent Show has something for everyone.  More than just music, more than just comedy, his show is fresh and original!  Fast-paced humor, rapid-fire costume change, Impressions, and a musical tribute to the trumpet greats are just part of the fun.  He will tailor his “Italian Show” just for us including Louis Prima medley, Luciano Pavarotti, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennet to name a few.  The cost for dinner and the show will be $15/person. 

The food committee will prepare Pasta/Meatballs, salad, bread and dessert (TBD).  It is a tremendous show.  You can find out more about the Joey Vincent Show at www.Joey.Vincent.com .  Tickets will be sold ahead of time.

Tony n' Tina's Wedding
The Longest Running Show in Off-Broadway History!

About the Show   Since opening February 14th, 1988 in New York City this unique theatrical experience has won over the hearts of thousands of people, in over 100 cities worldwide, including Japan, Australia and many European cities.

At Tony n' Tina's Wedding, audience members actually play the roles of Tony n' Tina's family and/or friends. These are roles we have all been practicing, every time we go to a real wedding. This universal familiarity with the union of two individuals from 2 distinct families, regardless as to where you are from, will take you back and forth between fantasy and reality throughout the entire evening. For the ultimate experience... eat, drink, dance, converse and allow yourself to be caught up in the activities. This all inclusive evening of entertainment will be something you and your friends will be talking about for many years to come.

All prices are in lieu of a gift to the happy couple and include the show, dancing, and dinner although menus may vary depending upon the specific venue in which you are attending.

How to Dress:
We recommend you dress like you are going to any family wedding. Tina's mom, Mrs. V says she would not even have to tell everyone not to wear t-shirts, sneakers or jeans. But knowing what Tony's family was wearing at their last family wedding she wants to make sure it's perfectly clear. And trust me they will be looking carefully as to who's dressed appropriately and who isn't. Between her and Joey they are like the fashion police.

Those who are not dressed appropriately will not be asked to leave but... they are subject to questioning as to "why?" from the mother of the bride. So, come as you must. The only thing worse than dressing inappropriately is not coming to the wedding at all.

Note: the menu from show to show varies. We try to maintain a consistent menu, but due to different geographic locations, show meals will vary.

VIP inclusions change based on location; not all cities offer the champagne toast please.
