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 opera star, arrives in Cleveland, Ohio. When Tito goes missing, the show's producer conspires to cover for Tito's absence, placate his hot-blooded wife and distract his most passionate fans. This Tony-nominated comedy by Ken Ludwig is directed by Richard Sodders and takes farcical chaos to operatic levels.
