From the co-creator of "Tony n' Tina's Wedding," the show is described as follows:

It's time to say goodbye to Paddy Finnegan, a beloved U.S. postman who won $10 million in Atlantic City then promptly dropped dead. As Father Seamus presides over this authentic Irish wake, the audience is treated to eulogies, sing-alongs and a missing corpse!
