It Shoulda Been You opened on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 and audiences have been laughing their nuptials off ever since. The hilarious and heartwarming new musical is a culture clash for the ages when two families from wildly different backgrounds come together to celebrate a wedding. As if the union wasn’t complicated enough, the bride’s ex-boyfriend arrives, bringing the wedding to a screeching halt and throwing both families into hysterical chaos. Plots are hatched, promises broken, secrets exposed – and the bride’s resourceful sister is left to turn an unmitigated disaster into happily ever after. It Shoulda Been You puts a refreshingly modern spin on the traditional wedding comedy, proving that when it comes to wedding day insanity, it’s all relative.
Directed by Emmy and Tony Award-winner, David Hyde Pierce in his Broadway directorial debut, It Shoulda Been You features an original book & lyrics by Brian Hargrove and music by Barbara Anselmi.
