Dina Manzo, Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, and Jacqueline Laurita, stars of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey, will host a special performance of Anthony J. Wilkinson’s My Big Gay Italian Wedding, playing at St. Luke’s Theatre, on June 24. The event will benefit Marriage Equality New York and the organization’s work for marriage equality in New York and across the nation.

The special event will include both the show and a rooftop after-party with the My Big Gay Italian Wedding and The Real Housewives of New Jersey casts at Press Lounge at Ink48. Additional special guests will be announced shortly.

The play focuses on two gay men as they plan their wedding and the people around them, including an overbearing Italian mother, a jealous ex-boyfriend, the wedding planner from Hell, and an assortment of family and friends. Teresa A. Cicala has directed the production, which features wedding dances staged by Austin Eyer.

The company includes Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, along with Bryan Anthony, Tricia Burns, Brett Douglas, Liz Gerecitano, Leah Gerstel, Randi Kaplan, Chad Kessler, Kevin McIntyre, Carla-Marie Mercun, Erik Ransom, Meagan Robar, Joe Scanio, Fabio Taliercio, and Adam Zelasko.
