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.

Performances run weekends from January 12-28, 2024 with performances Fridays at 8:00pm, Saturdays at 3:00pm & 8:00pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $32 for adults and $30 for students/seniors/military. Theatre for a Young Audience tickets are $10 and are available for purchase online, in person at the box office, or by calling 609-397-3337. It’s never too late to subscribe and save with a subscription package for the 2024 season! Subscriptions are valid through December 2024.

ON-GOING EVENTS

(MADISON, NJ) -- Long before Bridgerton sparked desires and ignited our screens, a young, new writer set the hearts of England ablaze with the deep longing of her compelling characters. Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility tells the captivating tale of the Dashwood sisters as they attempt to navigate financial strife, would-be suitors, and the rigid edicts of English society following the death of their father. Jessica Swale’s elegant stage adaptation of this beloved classic overflows with humor and style. The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will present Sense and Sensibility at their F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University from September 4-22, 2024.
