Show information:
This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company world famous tenor Tito Merelli (Doug Knoop) is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. Saunders (Darrell Shephard), the General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the operatic map. Merelli is late; when he finally sweeps in it is too late to rehearse with the company.
Through a hilarious series of mishaps, Il Stupendo is given a double dose of tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has consumed and he passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead.
What to do?
Max (Brad Cerenzia) is an aspiring singer and Saunders persuades him to get into Merelli's Otello costume and try to fool the audience into thinking he's Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably, but Merelli comes to and gets into his other costume. Now two Otellos are running around in costume and two women are running around in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo! Maggie is played by Tacomas Addriene Grieco, Diana played by Tacomas Julie Wenzel.
While Merellis wife, played by Diana Martin thinks she is being betrayed by Tito, the Bellhop (Auburns Robert Keene) & Julia-(Tacomas Molly Callender) run amok trying to get a glimpse of the opera star. The entire fiasco is sure to give audiences a side splitting good time.
A sensation on Broadway and in London's West End, Lend Me a Tenor is guaranteed to leave you teary-eyed with laughter.
"A jolly play." N.Y. Times.
"Non stop laughter." Variety.
"Uproarious! Hysterical!" USA Today.
"A rib tickling comedy." N.Y. Post.
"Screamingly funny!" CBS Radio.
