"I’m still recovering from laughing so hard last night. I haven’t laughed that hard in years!" Ray Cornelius of Jazz 91.9 WCLK, Atlanta's Jazz Station saw WILD WITH HAPPY last night and interviewed the cast on Zoom today. “Anyone from Bankhead to Buckhead can relate to this play!

This uproarious hit from Off-Broadway by Colman Domingo (Oscar nominated for Rustin) follows the adventures of Gil, a man on a mission to find the perfect resting place for his mother. When his vivacious mother passes, Gil returns home and decides to have her cremated – despite his raucous Aunt Glo’s desire for a traditional funeral and burial. Then his flamboyant best friend takes him on an unexpected road trip with his mother’s ashes, and a furious Aunt Glo follows in hot pursuit with the sensitive funeral director in tow. Both outrageously funny and immensely touching, Wild With Happy is a wild ride through love, loss, and just maybe, The Most Magical Place on Earth.
