Photo Flash: LEND ME A TENOR Plays the Music Box Theatre

Ken Ludwig's comedy LEND ME A TENOR began previews on Friday March 12, 2010 in preparation for an opening night of April 4, 2010 at Broadway's Music Box Theatre.  The show stars Anthony LaPaglia, Tony Shalhoub, Justin Bartha, Brooke Adams, Mary Catherine Garrison, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jay Klaitz, and Jan Maxwell, and features direction by Stanley Tucci.

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.

LEND ME A TENOR's design and creative team is John Lee Beatty (set designer), Martin Pakledinaz, (costume design), Kenneth Posner (lighting design), and Peter Hylenski (sound design).

Tickets for LEND ME A TENOR are $121.50 and $86.50 at all performances except Saturday at 8 PM when they are $126.50 and $86.50. Tickets are available through Telecharge (212 239 6200) or at www.Telecharge.com.
