Lend Me a Tenor is set in September 1934. Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is welcoming world-famous Tito Morelli, known as Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only as Otello. The star arrives late and, through a hilarious series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out, setting off a chain reaction of slapstick and mistaken identity. A sensation on Broadway this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
