INTERNATIONAL CITY THEATRE’S “LEND ME A TENOR” (Thursday – Sunday)

International City Theatre is closing its 2022 season with its production of “Lend Me a Tenor,” the Broadway comedy hit written by Ken Ludwig.

The premise of the show follows world-renowned tenor Tito Merelli who goes a little hard with alcohol and tranquilizers just before a major opera performance and is presumed dead. The rest of the cast involved including Merelli’s wife, Maria, the opera house’s manager and hapless assistant, plus an aspiring young opera singer hatch a plan to continue the show and hijinks ensue.

The play, which received nine Tony awards since its debut in 1986, has been a popular choice for theater companies for its slapstick comedy, wordplay, romance and stellar opera music. Audiences can catch performances Thursday through Sunday until Nov. 6 at the Downtown theater. Tickets range from $49-$52.
