London Subway Bans Ad for ‘Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding’ Over ‘Unhealthy’ Wedding Cake Photo

The interactive play depicts an Italian-American wedding and reception

Wedding cake, not healthy per se
General atmosphere during the New York Magazine's New York Weddings Event at Metropolitan Pavilion on March 27, 2014 in New York City.

Posters advertising the London run of “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” were pulled from the city’s subway stations because they depict an “unhealthy” wedding cake, in violation of the transport agency’s rules.

The episode appears designed to boost publicity for the improv-driven immersive comedy based on a traditional Italian-American wedding and reception, which ran in various venues in New York for more than two decades and opens in the West End on July 15.

The banned poster features the two leads, Ronnie Burden and Alabama Boatman, dancing on top of a wedding cake covered in white icing, was considered to be in breach of Transport for London’s food and drink advertising policy, The Sun first reported.
