À propos de cet audio

Sometimes our world unravels around us all at once. And when it does, the best thing we can do is take a step back and laugh. Laugh a lot.

From the brilliant comedic and emotive mind of Oscar and Tony Award nominee Colman Domingo (Rustin, The Color Purple, and Euphoria) comes the deeply imaginative dark comedy about death Wild with Happy. It is performed by an all-star cast including Domingo, the legendary Oprah Winfrey, Tony Award nominee Sharon Washington (New York, New York), Tony Award winner Alex Newell (Glee, Shucked), and Golden Globe Award winner Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary).

Gil (Domingo) is a struggling NYC actor who heads home to Philadelphia after the passing of his mother, Adelaide (Winfrey). The plan is to tidy-up her affairs as quickly and efficiently as possible, until a few unpredictably hilarious detours ensue. With his Aunt Glo (Washington) insisting on a proper burial, but an urn of ashes already in his hand, Gil gets thrown into a car by his best friend (Newell). Aunt Glo and the funeral director (Williams), now Gil’s lover (yes, that happened), follow in hot pursuit. Several states later they all reach their final destination, and Gil’s mom’s final resting place: the one place on earth that made her wild with happy.

Be advised. This is a beautifully crafted, immersive listen. There is a good chance you may find yourself laughing and crying at the same time. Enjoy the ride that we all don’t want to take but will be so very wild with happy that we did.

Editorial Review

The good, the bad and Colman Domingo
Have you ever noticed how life’s highs and lows always tend to go hand-in-hand? Colman Domingo’s Wild with Happy explores that very concept through the bizarre comedy, love and heartfelt moments of humanity found amid grief and healing. Starring Tyler James Williams ( Abbott Elementary), Alex Newell ( Glee), Sharon Washington ( Feeding the Dragon) and the one and only Oprah, alongside Domingo himself, the casting alone makes this a can’t-miss listening experience. It’s a hard-hitting comedy about family, our own expectations and love, but it’s also a moving reminder that good things often come out of horrible situations, and that fairy tale endings always seem to happen when we’re least expecting them. —Michael C., Audible Editor

All of the characters showed out. Each one brought a lesson.
The grief and guilt within the storyline was relatable. Also, recognizing that making rash decisions in the midst of anger, sadness, grief is often regrettable. "give everybody a chance to breathe". One of the best walking stories!

This was a very enjoyable story about a difficult subject, death. It has wonderful voices relating the story. It is also thought provoking about how we perceive death. I recommend this audio book.
