Acerca de esta escucha

Sometimes our world unravels around us all at once. And when it does, the best thing we can do is take a step back and laugh. Laugh a lot.

From the brilliant comedic and emotive mind of Oscar and Tony Award nominee Colman Domingo (Rustin, The Color Purple, and Euphoria) comes the deeply imaginative dark comedy about death Wild with Happy. It is performed by an all-star cast including Domingo, the legendary Oprah Winfrey, Tony Award nominee Sharon Washington (New York, New York), Tony Award winner Alex Newell (Glee, Shucked), and Golden Globe Award winner Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary).

Gil (Domingo) is a struggling NYC actor who heads home to Philadelphia after the passing of his mother, Adelaide (Winfrey). The plan is to tidy-up her affairs as quickly and efficiently as possible, until a few unpredictably hilarious detours ensue. With his Aunt Glo (Washington) insisting on a proper burial, but an urn of ashes already in his hand, Gil gets thrown into a car by his best friend (Newell). Aunt Glo and the funeral director (Williams), now Gil’s lover (yes, that happened), follow in hot pursuit. Several states later they all reach their final destination, and Gil’s mom’s final resting place: the one place on earth that made her wild with happy.

Be advised. This is a beautifully crafted, immersive listen. There is a good chance you may find yourself laughing and crying at the same time. Enjoy the ride that we all don’t want to take but will be so very wild with happy that we did.

Just not for me

I really like the actors and actress involved in this performance. They were good and extra! (In a good way.) The storyline was a little disjointed and kept me wondering what instead of simply enjoying the plot. Just not for me, I would say check it out for yourself.

Phenomenal casting

A world of emotions you will laugh out loud, shed a tear or two then smile again. A short story well worth just taking a moment to be still 😉

not much story but excellent performances

I didn't find the story engaging and at times annoying but the performances were generally good. Just the plot was thin.
