The 22+ Weddings of Hugo

GALA Hispanic Theatre
3333 14th Street, NW Washington

Why in the world does Hugo, a quiet postal clerk, keep getting married? Based on a true story, The 22+ Weddings of Hugo Multiple by Gustavo Ott is a raucous tale of “a beautiful crime” that delves into several hidden themes of our day, from empathy and immigration, to love in times of hatred, and the universal need to find refuge in a place, person, or a feeling.

"...A guy who ties the knot more than 20 times would seem like a Lothario given to impossible extremes. But the serial groom in “The 22+ Weddings of Hugo,” a poignant and big-hearted new comedy at GALA Hispanic Theatre, is neither wanton nor indecisive. His polygamy reflects an honorable and capacious concept of love: He’d marry every undocumented immigrant he could to show his solidarity and help them stay in the country."

"...So The 22+ Weddings of Hugo, Ott’s joyous and very funny celebration of the best in human values, now playing at GALA Hispanic Theatre, has an inevitable political subtext as the days count down to the 2024 election. This subtext speaks for itself. Ott and director José Zayas, to their credit, do not dwell on that dimension of the material, rather focusing on the varied characters who join Hugo’s marital parade and the relationships among them."

"...Gonzales’ extravagantly bright and colorful set design, Hailey LaRoe’s lighting design, Rukiya Henry-Fields’ costuming, and Konstantine Lortkipanidze’s sound design combine to further underline the whimsy and fun of this production. Whatever your language, background, or culture, this is a play that just hits some wonderfully all-inclusive, sentimental notes, foregrounding a thoughtful message that perhaps we all need to hear."
