Broadway & Reality-TV Star Tommy Bracco Reveals Why He Was Proclaimed a “Groomzilla”


Listen Later

In this larger-than-life episode, host Jove Meyer sits down with Broadway performer, reality TV alum, and unapologetic “groomzilla” Tommy Bracco to talk all things love, family, and his epic New York wedding to husband Joey. From Staten Island roots to starring in Newsies on Broadway, Tommy shares his journey as an open book—along with the unexpected twists that shaped both his career and his love story.

Tommy opens up about growing up thinking he’d never come out, meeting Joey on Hinge during the pandemic, and knowing on their very first date that he’d found “the one.” Then, he takes us behind the scenes of planning (and documenting) a 300-person big Italian wedding, complete with viral TikToks calling out outdated traditions, DIY décor made from 80 tomato cans, a reality TV–style confessional booth, and the most over-the-top surprise performance by his best friend.

Episode Highlights:

- Why calling out outdated wedding traditions online made him go viral

- A reality-tv style confessional booth at his wedding
- Why he knew he’d marry Joey within minutes of their first date
- Private vows that became his favorite wedding-day memory
- A father-son choreographed dance (performed through a torn muscle!)
