Brief Synopsis of the Play:
One hotel suite, four tenors, two wives, three girlfriends, and a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? It’s 1930s Paris and the stage is set for the concert of the century – as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep Italian superstar Tito Merelli and his hot-blooded wife, Maria, from causing runaway chaos. Prepare for an uproarious ride, full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks, and madcap delight.
CHARACTERS:
SAUNDERS: (Early 50s) - Extremely self important. Concert producer, former Mayor of Cleveland.
MAX: (Early 30s) Aspiring opera singer. Your basic young male lead with a head for comedy.
TITO: (Early 50s) Aging opera star. Very Italian. Speaks with a heavy accent. Full of bravado, and full of ‘comic depression.’
BEPPO: Bellhop at the hotel. Heavy Italian accent ‘full of rich guttural sounds from a lifetime of drinking and good living’. Looks a lot like Tito but with a moustache. Played by same actor as Tito.
YOUNG MAN/CARLO NUCCI: (Early 30s) Famous opera star.
MARIA: (Late 40s) Wife of Tito. Fiery Italian and full of spice and style.
MIMI: (Mid 20s) Daughter of Tito and Maria. More American than Italian. In love with Young Man.
RACÓN: (Mid 40s) Ravishingly beautiful. Heavy Russian accent. The very Russian version of Maria.
