About the Show:
It's 1934, and the clever and combustible Lucille Wylie, 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. Wylie’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day.
Prepare to be captivated as the traditional roles are delightfully reversed in this uproarious screwball comedy, inspired by Ludwig’s Tony Award-winning masterpiece Lend Me A Tenor. In a vibrant twist that showcases the formidable talents of women, this production promises to whisk you away into a whirlwind of hilarity and heartwarming moments, leaving you teary-eyed with laughter and joy.
