Lend Me A Tenor at Playhouse on Park

WEST HARTFORD, CT- The Main
Stage season at Playhouse on Park resumes with Lend Me A Tenor, a madcap tale of one unforgettable evening at a
Cleveland opera house in 1934. When Tito Morelli, the scheduled star tenor, is
unexpectedly sidelined, the manager of the theatre, Saunders, pushes his
assistant into the spotlight to replace him. What follows is a hilarious case
of mistaken identity. In what The London Times calls “a remarkable piece of
theatre”, Lend Me A Tenor is sure to
leave audiences belting out with laughter.

Leading the cast are Mike
Boland as Saunders and Robert Wilde as Tito Morelli. Mr. Boland’s previous
shows include Broadway’s Enemy of the
People, the national tours of West
Side Story and Twelve Angry Men, Hartford
Stage’s To Kill A Mockingbird and Orphans Home Cycle, Theaterworks’ Exonerated, and Long Wharf’s She Stoops to Conquer, Wit, Mystery
School, and A Question of Mercy. Mr. Wilde previously performed as the
title roles of Ivoryton Playhouse’s Jekyll
and Hyde and Che in River Valley Repertory’s Evita, and has also appeared in the hit film The Dark Knight. Also in the role of Maria Morelli is Ashley Ford,
who returns after her successful run in Playhouse on Park’s Cabaret. Completing the cast are Jeff
Gonzalez (Max), Lilly Wilton (Maggie), Donna Schilke (Julia), Katie Vincent
(Diana), and Corrado Alicata (Bellhop).

Lend Me A Tenor runs January 22nd through February 9th. For
