ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID / Majestic Theatre (Manchester) / February 13-15 – DIRECT/x

Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud journey with these beleaguered bridesmaids as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony. In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each otherโ€™s weddings โ€ฆ no matter what. More than thirty years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making โ€œthe long walkโ€ for each other, determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage, believes โ€“ in spite of all evidence to the contrary โ€“ that her friends can find the very same happiness. Headstrong Deedraโ€™s โ€œrock-solidโ€ union hangs by a thread when she discovers her husband of many years has not only a wandering eye but the hands to match. Monette, flashy, high-spirited and self-involved, continues to test her friendsโ€™ love and patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle. And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers โ€“ the hard way โ€“ that marital bliss is not the end of her rainbow and panics in outrageous style when the opportunity presents itself. If youโ€™ve ever elbowed a stranger out of the way to catch a brideโ€™s bouquet, seriously questioned the mental stability of the duo saying โ€œI doโ€ or been forced to wear the worldโ€™s ugliest bridesmaid dress, this deliriously funny JONES HOPE WOOTEN COMEDY is definitely for you โ€ฆ and your dearly beloved! www.majestictheatre.net or (603)669-7469
