Lend Me A Tenor

Directed by Terri Corigliano

The Saybrook Stage Company returns to the Kate this summer with Ken Ludwig’s wildly popular, side-splitting farce LEND ME A TENOR. Chaos ensues at the Cleveland Grand Opera Guild when world-famous tenor, Tito Merelli arrives for a guest performance and is suddenly unable to perform. After the manager concocts a plan to disguise his assistant as the singer in order to save the production, revolving doors of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements and frantic attempts to pull off the masquerade provide plenty of laughs guaranteed to bring down the house!

Set in 1934, LEND ME A TENOR was originally produced on the West End in 1986 and Broadway in 1989. It received nine Tony Award nominations and won for Best Actor and Best Director. The celebrated revival opened on Broadway in 2010.
