It's September 1934, and Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is primed to welcome world famous tenor
Tito Morelli, to appear for one night only as
Otello. The star arrives late and, through a hilarious series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers, passes out, and is
presumed dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades his assistant to go on instead. A sensation on
Broadway and in London's West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
