	Little Theatre's 'Lend Me a Tenor' Doesn't Exactly Sing (washingtonpost.com)

	'Lend Me a Tenor' falls flat, lacking passion to lift farce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The central problem with the production of "Lend Me a Tenor" running through June 21 at Melanec's Wheelhouse Dinner Theatre is that while the actors achieve a surface plausibility, they never convince us they have anything at stake.
		The tenor accidentally overdoses on wine and pills, and the general manager of the company persuades his gofer, Max, to don the tenor's costume, curly wig and flface, and take over the role himself.
		Because of the stock characters (which include the tenor's histrionic wife, Maria, and Diana, a soprano determined to sleep her way to the top), the actors have to work harder than in a straight play to convince us real people are on stage.

		October 14, 2004 - Ken Ludwig’s farce, “Lend Me a Tenor,” focuses on a crucial night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company and the comedy that ensues when the evening’s star, the world-famous and temperamental tenor Tito Morelli, is found and presumed dead in his dressing room.

		Most of the comic changes were handled very gracefully: my only quibble would be with the flout near the end, when a life-altering once-in-a-lifetime experience happens in the time-lapsing dark, and then the lights come up to reveal that the actors are scarcely mussed.

		To complicate matters even more, Merelli awakes from his drugged slumber slightly before show time, and, in attempting to get backstage prior to performance, gets into a tussle with crew members and police who believe him to be an impostor.

		The album's highlight, for me at least, is the 13-minute closing track "...A Dance of Shadows" which slowly rumbles and evolves through melancholy themes, spooky Mellotron and theremin textures and a resonant open-string guitar arpeggio to twice resolve its tension into what is one of the most hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies I have ever heard.
