NEW YORK—In a way, this new hilarious musical is a takeoff on the old “Abie’s Irish Rose”—in reverse. We’ve got a Jewish bride about to marry a Catholic groom. But this one is set to music with almost unimaginable hijinks at the hands of director David Hyde Pierce.
With book and lyrics by Brian Hargrove and music by Barbara Anselmi, two families tear at each other in comedic high dudgeon. It’s almost like the two warring families of “Romeo and Juliet.” But not quite.
