About the Play: It's 1934, and the clever and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in Carmen. Alas, Elena arrives late, her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy, and it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day.
Based on Ken Ludwig’s Tony Award-winning Lend Me A Tenor, this this madcap screwball comedy features ladies in the leading roles and is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
Time and Place: A first-rate hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. September, 1934.
