LEND ME A TENOR Kicks Off Gallery Players' 46th Season, 9/8
The Gallery Players' 46th season kicks off on Sept. 8 with Ken Ludwig's Lend Me a Tenor.
In Lend Me a Tenor, it's the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. When Tito Morelli, a renowned tenor about to make his North American premiere, is incapacitated by a series of calamities; Max, the office boy, is forced to impersonate him. What follows is a chain reaction of mistaken identity, innuendo and absurd plot twists that are as funny as they are ridiculous.
Running in Brooklyn through Sept. 23, this ensemble farce features Joe Beuerlein (Max), Gregory Cohan (Bellhop), Laura Lawson (Diana), Marisol Miller-Wave (Maria), Sean Patterson* (Tito Merelli), Amanda Pulcini* (Maggie), Jim Shine (Saunders) and Pauline Walsh (Julia).
