Oy Vey, My Son Is Gay

They say moms are the first to know. Moms are also the first to deny—even when the signs are obvious. Add stunting family expectations to a mother's nose for trouble and happiness might not be as close as expected.

So is the case in the new romantic comedy Oy Vey, My Son Is Gay starring Carmen Electra, Lanie Kazan, John Lloyd Young, Jai Rodriguez, Saul Robinek, and Vincent Pastore.

Oy Vey, My Son Is Gay is the story of the Hirsch's, a Jewish family living in the North Shore of Long Island, where every Friday night Shirley Hirsch (Lainie Kazan) invites another "perfect" girl for Shabbat dinner in hopes that her son, Nelson (John Lloyd Young), will marry a nice Jewish girl. When Shirley and Martin (Saul Rubinek) once again set him up on a date, Nelson reveals that he is already seeing someone. Shirley and Martin are thrilled and can't wait to meet the lucky lady... But, soon learn Nelson's perfect mate isn't a woman at all.

Oy Vey, My Son Is Gay premieres in New York City tonight at the Directors Guild Theatre.
