Synopsis

Full-Length Musical | "Glorious! A good-hearted show with real laughs!" –The London Times | The riotous tale of mistaken identities and unexpected romance explodes in this brand new musical comedy based on the Tony Award-nominated play. It’s 1934, and opera virtuoso Tito Merelli is about to revive Otello for the ten-year anniversary of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. When Tito becomes unexpectedly incapacitated, a suitable replacement must be found. Max, the Opera Director’s sheepish assistant, is charged with the daunting task of finding a suitable replacement. Who is cavalier enough to replace him? With the help of a menacing soprano, a tenor-struck ingénue, a jealous wife, and the Cleveland Police Department, mayhem, lunacy and, sheer panic ensue, but in the end, the show must always go on. (Cast: 6F, 4M, Ensemble)
