Lend Me a Tenor Broadway Show Description

Because he is presumed dead, the renowned opera singer "Il Stupendo" cannot go on, so an understudy prepares to play the part. Presiding over the door-slamming chaos is director Stanley Tucci; Anthony LaPaglia and Tony Shalhoub star.

On the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, world-famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, Tito is given a double dose of tranquilizers, causing his pulse to drop so low that the opera house manager believes him to be dead. The comic plot builds from there.
