Lend Me a Tenor is a farce by Ken Ludwig, originally produced on both the West End in 1986 and Broadway in 1989.In 1934, the renowned tenor Tito "Il Stupendo" Merelli is scheduled to sing the lead in Otello at a gala fundraiser for the Cleveland Opera Company. Unfortunately, even before the star leaves his hotel room, everything begins to unravel. Chaos ensues when Maria, Merelli's wife, having mistaken Maggie Saunders, an autograph-seeker hidden in his closet, for a secret lover, leaves him a "Dear John" letter. The distraught Merelli is accidentally given a double dose of tranquilizers to calm him and passes out. Henry Saunders, the company's General Manager, is determined that the show will go on (for his own financial sake), so he asks his assistant Max to impersonate the opera star. Max puts on the makeup required for the role of Othello (or Pagliacci depending on the production), and his disguise succeeds admirably...until Merelli, also in makeup, wakes up and heads for the theatre. Rounding out the cast is Julia Leverett, the Chairwoman of the Opera Guild; Diana, a soprano willing to do anything to make it big; and an opera-singing bellhop. What follows is a chain reaction of mistaken identity, farcical plot twists, double entendres, innuendoes, and constant entrances and plenty of doors slamming.In 2011, a musical adaptation had a brief West End run.In 2022, Ludwig debuted Lend Me a Soprano, a Gender Flip version featuring the tempestuous soprano Elena Firenzi engaged to sing the lead in Carmen. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_1484dba1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A ton. From act one: While waiting for the incredibly late Tito, Max suggests to Saunders that he could take Tito’s place if he doesn’t show up. Guess who steps in when Il Stupendo cannot perform? There is also this conversation between Max and Saunders: Tito makes a comment to his wife that “his girl in the closet” isn’t going to care if he’s ill. Maria finds Maggie in the closet a little later (Tito had no idea she was in there). Tito makes a sarcastic comment to his wife about having two naked women waiting for in the bedroom of the suite. In act two, there are two lingerie-clad women in the suite (separate rooms) trying to seduce him. Tito makes a point of having two version of all his costumes, props, and makeup in case one fails. Both wind up getting used. | |

Tempting Fate: When Saunders assures Max that "nothing can go wrong," after Max successfully impersonates Tito at the opera, you know that everything is about to get straight to hell. | |

Spurned into Suicide: Max and Saunders think this happened to Tito after his wife walked out on him. It doesn’t help that they thought the Dear John she left him was a suicide note. | |

Mistaken Identity | |
| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_231e8193 | comment |
Mistaken Identity: Max, under heavy makeup and costume, poses as Tito. Exactly how believable this is depends on the actors, though some productions make the fact that they really don't look anything alike part of the joke. The play is set during the 1930s, so it's fairly plausible that the audience wouldn't be able to tell, between the makeup, being far away from the stage, and that they probably only would've ever seen Tito in a couple photographs. Maggie, on the other hand... Diana also has significantly less excuse, at least in productions where Tito and Max are vastly different heights and weights. While she has never met Tito before opening night, and thus probably wouldn't be able to tell she was singing with Max, you'd think she'd notice that it's not the same guy when she goes to see him in his hotel room later. | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |
| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_2d7ef923 | comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: Tito gets this a lot. She was already planning on leaving him, but when Maria finds Maggie (hoping to get an autograph) in the hotel closet she assumes Maggie is Tito’s lover. Though, this seems it wouldn’t be a stretch. Later, Diana has just hooked up with Tito, and Maggie has done the same with Max dressed as Tito. Afterward, while the women are out of the rooms, Tito finds Max dressed as him and leaves, leaving disguised Max to be found by both Maggie and Diana, who both think that “Tito” is two-timing them. Then, Maria returns. | |

Rejected Marriage Proposal: Max proposed to Maggie briefly before the story begins. She says she said no, he says she said she'd think about it. It's not so much that she doesn't love him and more that she feels like she hasn't experienced enough to be ready to settle down. | |

Questionable Consent | |
| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_9400b3b5 | comment |
Questionable Consent: Maggie sleeps with Max... thinking he's Tito. He does nothing to correct this assumption. When she finds out, she doesn't seem to consider it a violation, but Max did lie about his identity to get her to have sex with him, knowing full well she wouldn't have had she known who he was. Of course, given how impressed she was with Max's performance, it's likely that Maggie actually would've slept with him if she knew it was him, and not Tito. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Blackface was very common at the time, and used by every actor playing Othello professionally at the time, since the role was still only given to white men. None of the characters comment on it at all, but for the audience, it pushes many events into pure Refuge in Audacity territory. (And the plot relies on it, so there's no way to cut it.) Modern productions change the play to Pagliacci and clown makeup instead. | |

Mistaken for Prostitute: Poor Diana; but in this case it’s not because of what she’s wearing but because of her asking Tito if she “was good” (on stage) and saying she “is a professional” (singer). It’s reasonably justified because, she thought she had already met him and he has no idea who this woman is. | |

Not Quite Dead: Tito. The triple dose of phenobarbital mixed with the alcohol made his heartbeat drop so much that Max and Saunders thought he was dead. | |

| Lend Me a Tenor (Theatre) / int_e796ce97 | comment |
Blackface: The actor playing Othello, be it Max or Tito, wears it. Played for comedy, as part of the Mistaken Identity. Some productions replace Othello with Pagliacci and use thick clown makeup instead. | |
