Music Mountain Theatre presents “Lend Me a Tenor”



(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) — Music Mountain Theatre opens their 2024 season with the Tony award winning comedy, Lend Me a Tenor, weekends from January 12-28, 2024. The play is set in September of 1934 and we see the Cleveland Grand Opera Company’s gala season opener, centered on world-famous tenor Tito Morelli, performing as Canio in “Pagliacci,” his greatest role. But the opera is jeopardized when Morelli falls into a drunken stupor.

In a panic, the opera company’s diminutive assistant grabs a costume and make-up, pretends to be the famous Morelli, and goes on as Canio. The masquerade works until Morelli awakens and the chaos of mistaken identities ensues, involving two clowns, a volatile Italian wife, an outrageous bellhop, a cynical impresario, and two lingerie-clad ladies trying to seduce the tenor.

The cast includes Lauren Brader, Rhett Commodaro, Michael Gearty, Jaimie Geddes, Joan Hoffman, Madison Kotnarowski, David McCloughan, Jr., and Tristan Takacs.

A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, winning 3 Tony and 4 Drama Desk awards, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
