WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated 3 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Play.
Set in the 1930s, Lend Me a Tenor is a madcap screwball comedy that takes place when Tito Merelli, the fiery-tempered and world famous Italian superstar, arrives in Cleveland, Ohio to make his debut with the local opera and promptly goes missing. As Saunders, the show's presenter, conspires to cover for Tito's absence, placate his hot-blooded wife, and distract his most passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues.
WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?
What are other members saying?
Such a shame
We saw Lend Me a Tenor last Sunday. Anthony, Tony, and Brooke all snuck into an awaiting car after the show, leaving dozens of people expecting them to come out the stage door as Justin Bartha did. Now, maybe there was something more important than all those people who traveled hundreds of miles and paid $100 each. Really, maybe there was. But couldn?t an employee give the audience the courtesy of letting all them know those stars would not be out for autographs or photos. I watched several young girls leave in tears over the disappointment and it broke my heart. It could have been avoided

Tony Shalhoub may have wanted a change of pace from television's Monk, Anthony LaPaglia may have wanted a change of pace from Without a Trace, and Justin Bartha may have wanted a change of pace from high-grossing movies like The Hangover. Well, they've got exactly what they wanted in Stanley Tucci's shrewdly directed revival of Ken Ludwig's ingeniously contrived and often hilarious farce,
Lend Me a Tenor, now being revived at the Music Box Theatre.
Indeed, these three actors are playing the comedy so far over the top that they've just passed the cow on her way to the moon. Keeping up with them in speeding through the six hotel-room doors and one shadowy hallway that set designer John L[...]
