Wedding bells ring in Elisa's head as she sings of love and hopefully marriage. Elisa Victoria writes and stars in “I’m Gonna Get Married,” a charming DIY pop musical, stylized, self-assured and brimming with personality. Elisa hops around in vintage wedding dresses belting tunes about finding a partner and tying the knot. She sings of her hopes, fears, and doubts, often using pop culture references to illustrate: in one number, she sings about marrying Jim Carrey; another is about being ghosted by Where’s Waldo? It’s a lively concoction carried by Victoria’s sunny charisma and stylish, ever-rotating ensemble of wedding day looks. Wendy McColm directs and delivers vibrant visuals and colorful compositions to match. -KA. Written, Produced, Performed by Elisa Victoria. Directed by Wendy McColm. Director of Photography: Silvia Lara. Music Producer: Lucas Bakker. Set Designer: Shelby Paige. AD: Antonieta Carpio. AC: Ric Keyes. Hair: Kaitlin Siskel Cochran. Gaffer: Labeigh.
