New York City
A Catered Affair is set in The Bronx, 1953. Funny, heartbreaking and oh so human, the musical reveals relationships strained to their limits when a couple must decide whether to spend their life savings on a family business or to launch their only daughter’s marriage with a lavish catered affair. Harvey Fierstein’s book and John Bucchino’s score seize the opportunity to explore the meaning of family and the need for love, both new and reawakened.
