"Lend Me a Tenor," written by Ken Ludwig was produced on both the West End (1986) and Broadway (1989). It received nine Tony Award nominations and won for Best Actor and Best Director. A classic farce of mistaken identity, with an endless stream of slamming doors crafted around the human foibles surrounding romance, lust, and a zest for life. Set in a 1930s Cleveland hotel as a world-class opera star is coming to town to headline the local opera company's social function of the year.
