Theatre Huntsville Perfect Wedding
Fri.-Sat. 7:30 p.m. & Sun. 2 p.m. Von Braun Center Play House.
What should be a happy morning turns into a ]night-mare-for-one] (and lots of laughs for us) when Bill wakes up on his wedding day in bed with a charming (and unclothed) girl who is definitely NOT his fiancee. The situation deteriorates when Bill's best man shows up & gets worse when the bride arrives...not to mention her mother & a ]hottie] from the hotel staff. There is a happy ending but we're betting you won't figure it out until the closing curtain. For more info, call (256) 536-0807.
