Lend Me A Tenor
Matthew Kelly stars in this riotous, unpredictable explosion of mistaken identities and unexpected romance.
Why see Lend Me A Tenor?
Set in Ohio in 1934, where the failing Grand Opera Company is about to be saved by the arrival of the world’s greatest tenor Tito Merelli.
When he is unexpectedly incapacitated, it falls to the director’s meek assistant to find a replacement, a task made more difficult by a scheming soprano, a tenor-struck ingénue, a jealous wife and the Cleveland Police department.

Excellent fun
My wife and I took my parents as a birthday treat. Great show, lots of fun, very high quality vocals, and a cast which evidently are enjoying themselves. Everything a musical comedy should be and highly recommended. ... Read more

Don't miss 'Tenor'
From curtain up a 5* show - it has pace, humour,
farce, pathos and a terrific company who deliver a
great evening's entertainment. It would be hard to
choose 'best performer' as their isn't a weak-link
in the entire cast. Matthew Kelly is perfect as
the harassed, three wived impresario who's future
relies on the 'show going on'; Michael Matus as
Mirelli is entirely convincing as the washed out
'opera-idol' who has had it with performance but
is considerate enough to encourage others; Damian
Humbley makes the transition from nervous jewish
assistant to superstar lover with great humour and
a voice to match. Joanna Riding as Maria almost
steals the show with her facial expressions alone
in the 'Penthouse scene'; Sophie-Louise Dann
bring's the house down with her operatic
'audition' in Act II and Cassidy Janson creates
the perfectly understated but hot-blooded
'daughter of the boss' just waiting for her
chance. The chorus and orchestra are superb and
the show deserves great success. ... Read more

excellent entertainment
If you want a funny wellsung and clever farce then go and see this show. We loved the show - I saw the original play and thought the musical was very cleverly used - loved all the songs. Our seats were in circle so easy to leave at street level. ... Read more
