    This laugh-out-loud comedy is unlike other wedding day farces in that character flaws have nothing to do with cold feet and a fear of commitment. We can't get down the aisle because a whirlwind of empathy and kindness, selfishness, and coffee. "Her Big Day" is a comic delight and should have a robust production history.

    Wow, this is a big day to all concerned! This play threw in so many (darkly) funny twists that I'm still not sure who is supposed to marry who! Then a turn near the end took me completely by surprise! I would love to see this staged!
