The Tony Award-wining comedy Lend Me Tenor by Ken Ludwig will be performed by the Dragonfly Theatre at Soul Live Project in Ho Chi Minh City on December 1-3.

A scene in the play

The play tells a story about the escapade of world-famous tenor singer Tito Merelli, who is unintentionally drugged and takes a long nap before an important performance.

Merelli is thought to be dead, so the opera manager persuades his assistant to impersonate as Merelli so that the show can go on. Everything goes smoothly but the singer suddenly wakes up and the play unfolds a series of unexpected situations and brings hearty laughter to spectators.

The Broadway comedy play has been translated into sixteen languages and produced in twenty-five countries.

The play will be performed in English with Vietnamese subtitles.
