FAIR LAWN, NJ — Fair Lawn Recreation Department's resident theatre company, Old Library Theatre, is presenting the Broadway musical comedy, "It Shoulda Been You," over two weekends at the George Frey Center for Arts and Recreation.
Starting this Friday and running through August 7, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., the musical tells the story of a Jewish and a Catholic family who have come together for a wedding ceremony.
Central to the musical is the theme of identities and appearances, and the judgements that come from others, and the culture clash of the two very different and comical families.

"This show asks the audience to question all the 'shoulds' that we, as a society, have made standard," Director Armanda Cerqueira said. "I wanted to tell this story through a more relatable lens. 'It Shoulda Been You' can be anyone's story, and everybody should be able to tell it.”
