LEND ME A TENOR's Anthony LaPaglia, Tony Shalhoub and Justin Bartha appeared on The Today Show this morning, Thursday, April 15 in the 10 AM hour. The Today Show airs on NBC, Channel 4 in New York.
Newsday: Anthony LaPaglia "makes a spectacular leap against type."
Bloomberg.com: "Shalhoub couldn't be more comical."
New York Post: "Bartha is the engine that powers this show. He doesn't just make his Broadway debut; he dynamites the door open."
Set in the 1930s, LEND ME A TENOR is a screwball comedy that takes place when Tito Merelli, the fiery-tempered and world famous Italian superstar, arrives in Cleveland, Ohio to make his debut with the local opera and promptly goes missing. As Saunders, the show's presenter, conspires to cover for Tito's absence, placate his hot-blooded wife, and distract his most passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues.
Ken Ludwig's comedy LEND ME A TENOR stars Anthony LaPaglia, Tony Shalhoub, Justin Bartha, Brooke Adams, Mary Catherine Garrison, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jay Klaitz, and Jan Maxwell, and is directed by Stanley Tucci. LEND ME A TENOR is now playing at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street).
