That strategy might help theatergoers appreciate the opera-scaled comedy of Ken Ludwig’s new show, featuring beloved characters from “Lend Me a Tenor.”
“There’s really no politics involved in this play at all, which is a nice respite. In comedy, funny is funny,” says Gregory North, who plays Tito and Beppo in “A Comedy of Tenors,” two Italian singers at different stages of their careers.
“Tenor” — one of the world’s most-produced contemporary comedies — has been a Utah audience favorite since PTC premiered the show in 1993. Theatergoers made a hit out of Utah Shakespeare Festival’s 2007 musical version by Peter Sham and Brad Carroll, which went on to a London production in 2012.
