TV actors star in Broadway Play

March 20, 2010

TV actors Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk) will star in the Broadway play Lend Me a Tenor at the Music Box Theatre in NYC.

Among the cast are other familiar faces such as Justin Bartha (The Hangover), Jan Maxwell (Headmistress on Gossip Girl), and Brooke Adams (Monk).

The show which officially opens April 4th, will start performances as early as March 11th.

According to @LendTenorNYC, audience members have included such stars as Patricia Clarkson, Harry Belafonte, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

After a 20 year hiatus from it’s initial Broadway debut, Lend Me A Tenor returns:

Set in the 1930s, Lend Me a Tenor is a madcap screwball comedy that begins when Tito Merelli (LaPaglia), a fiery-tempered and world famous Italian superstar, arrives in Cleveland to make his debut with the local opera and promptly goes missing. As Saunders (Shalhoub), the show’s presenter, conspires to cover for Tito’s absence by tapping his hapless assistant Max (Bartha) to star in the opera, placate his hot-blooded wife and distract his most passionate fans, chaos on a truly operatic level ensues.

Lend Me A Tenor is set to run through August. Check out Lend Me A Tenor for more information and ticket pricing.
