About the Play:
A Comedy of Tenors is a full-length comedy by Ken
Ludwig. The characters from the Tony Award-winning comedy Lend
Me a Tenor are back – this
time set amidst the glitz and glamour of
1930s Paris for a star-studded concert.
As opening night draws near, prepare
for an uproarious ride, full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks,
and madcap delight in this laugh-out-loud farce.
A Comedy of Tenors is
the hilarious sequel to Lend
Me a Tenor. One hotel suite,
four
tenors, two wives, three girlfriends, and a soccer stadium filled
with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? Several
of the same characters from the
operatic farce Lend
Me a Tenor return
– this time in
1930s Paris and the stage is set for the concert of the century –
as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep Italian superstar Tito
Merelli and his hot-blooded wife, Maira, from causing runaway chaos.
Of course, everything that can go wrong does, including clandestine
love affairs, romantic misunderstandings and enormous operatic egos
threatening to cancel the entire concert. Filled with the crackling
one-liners and frantic farce that made Lend Me a Tenor
a huge hit, A Comedy of Tenors
evokes the classic screwball comedies of an earlier time.
A Comedy of Tenors premiered in 2015 in a co-production at
the Cleveland Playhouse in Cleveland and the McCarter Theatre in
Princeton, New Jersey. Since
then the play has
been produced widely
at professional theatres across the US and has been mounted by colleges and community theatres.
Cast: 3 female, 4 male
