Lend Me a Tenorat Sheringham Little Theatre

Prepare for an evening of operatic mayhem, mistaken identities, and laugh-out-loud chaos in Lend Me a Tenor, Ken Ludwig’s beloved screwball farce that hits all the high notes of classic comedy. Set in September 1934, the action unfolds backstage at the Cleveland Grand Opera Company on the most important night of its season. World-famous tenor Tito Merelli — “Il Stupendo” himself — is scheduled to star in Pagliacci, and General Manager Henry Saunders is determined that nothing goes wrong.

Of course, everything does.

What follows is a whirlwind of slamming doors, frantic disguises, romantic entanglements, and near-misses. Add an ambitious diva, a flirtatious opera guild chairwoman, a giddy girlfriend, and a meddling bellhop, and the result is pure theatrical pandemonium.

Lend Me a Tenor is a fast-paced, riotous comedy guaranteed to leave audiences breathless with laughter.
