Lend Me A Tenor: The Musical is a riotous new musical comedy of mistaken identities and unexpected romance, based on the award-winning play. It’s 1934, and famed opera virtuoso Tito Merelli, known to millions as “Il Stupendo,” is about to revive Pagliacci for the 50th Anniversary of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. But when Tito becomes unexpectedly incapacitated, a suitable replacement must be found.  Max, the opera director’s sheepish assistant, is charged with the daunting task of finding someone cavalier enough to fill in for the star. Thanks to a menacing soprano, a tenor-struck ingénue, a jealous wife, and the Cleveland Police Department– mayhem, lunacy, and sheer panic ensue. But in the end, the show must always go on! After a celebrated run on London’s West End, Lend Me A Tenor: The Musicalenjoys first-class productions throughout the UK & Germany, and is currently celebrating it’s 5th continuous year run at the Sverdlovsk Theatre of Musical Comedy in Yekaterinburg, Russia!

(NOTE: There was an important revision made to the musical in 2014. The new version substitutes Pagliacci as the opera within the musical instead of Otello. This change updates questionable elements from the original play, while adding more farcical hilarity with three mistaken opera clowns – Canios.)
