A Comedy of Tenors

In a hotel suite in 1930s Paris, four tenors, two wives, and three girlfriends struggle hilariously with mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks and madcap antics as a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans awaits.

REVIEWS

Hampton Theater Company’s “A Comedy Of Tenors”

By T.J. Clemente
Hamptons.com
I totally loved the Hampton Theatre Company’s production of A Comedy of Tenors at the Quogue Community Hall because it had me in stitches for most of the evening. The play, which was written by Ken Ludwig and is directed by Diana Marbury, has continued into its second week packing in the crowds and having them leave completely entertained. No need to worry about falling asleep or yawning through this action packed production with punch lines every couple of seconds because it has a razzle dazzle quality that will keep your total attention on the stage. Normally I pick one or two actors who drive the show but with A Comedy of Tenors I just can’t do that because there are stellar performances by the whole cast along with what I will call a magical theater event that will blow you away as it did me unexpectedly. I am not reveling the reason so as to not spoil the surprise. Terrence Fiore as “Saunders,” the promoter, is great. He has a forceful dignified comedic presence throughout the show. A favorite of mine, Matthew Conlon plays “Max” with his usual fire, amazing energy and great physical acting skills. Catherine Maloney is playfully effective as “Maria,” with her movements and accent adding to the quality of this “farce production.” Edward A. Brennan plays Maria’s husband and Grand Tenor, Tito. Mr. Brennan has a magical gravitas on stage and this role seems to bring it out. He is a huge engine in the success of this show. Amanda Griemsmann plays “Mimi,” the daughter of Tito and Marie. Amanda adds some youth perspective along with some very thought provoking lines. She too has great comedic acting skills. The golden boy “Carlo” is masterly handled by Connor Antico, who surprised me with his myriad of talent. Lastly, Cesa Pledger portrays “Racon,” a Russian opera star. She has a flair for scene stealing physical acting and quite frankly is a joy to watch act! The magic of a great show is the flow of energy on the stage. A Comedy of Tenors has that flow along with real authentic punch line comedic prowess. Again, both the Hampton Theatre Company and Diana Marbury has brought a quality show to the Quogue Community Hall and has given its audiences something to really applaud for. I truly loved this production.

You Will Exit ‘A Comedy Of Tenors’ Laughing

By Lorraine Dusky
The East Hampton Press and The Southampton Press
“We all need some comedy in our lives right now,” was overheard as the audience exited Quogue Community Hall the other night. Indeed. That’s exactly what we got the other night at the Hampton Theatre Company’s lively and buoyant production of “A Comedy of Tenors.” It’s a farce in two acts, a story of unimpeded egos, mistaken identities—don’t all farces turn on that plot point?—and of course, sex, that add up to an overturned barrel of frenetic fun. Ken Ludwig’s smart, zany script is brought to life there with first-rate acting. This is community theater? Well, yes, if we are talking about the semi-professional group in Quogue that combines local well-oiled talent with a sprinkling of folks with their Actors’ Equity membership. We’ve come to expect the troupe in Quogue to have Sean Marbury’s splendid sets; this one is a 1930s French hotel suite with, of course, several doors for exits and entrances, true to farce form. We have come to count on Diana Marbury’s excellent direction at least once (or twice) a season; Theresa LeBrun’s swell costumes, Sebastian Paczynski’s spot-on lighting, and a crowd of the troupe’s loyalists always in attendance, even on rainy nights. But what we didn’t expect was the three tenors of the title would burst full-throated into operatic song and be, well, damn good to a man. And that includes regulars here who are known for their acting, not their musical ability. At the end of the first act, their performance was beautiful but all too brief. Quite simply, they blew me away. Edward A. Brennan, whom I fondly remember as the upstanding moralist of J.B. Priestley’s “An Inspector Calls” a few seasons back, has the big, beefy frame of an aging tenor (Tito) whose best days are behind him. Mr. Brennan here is a ham par excellence, but when it’s time to sing, wow, he turns it on. If I’d known that he is a professional for hire, and is a regular at St. Lawrence the Martyr in Sayville, I might not have not have been so surprised when the vocals began. But alas, poor Tito is being upstaged and out sung on the Paris radio by newcomer Carlo Nucco—handsome, suave, and unbeknown to Tito, in love with Tito’s presumably virginal daughter. Connor Antico from Rye, New York, was imported for the role after recently closing the same show at the well-known Arrow Rock Lyceum Theater in Missouri. In real life, Mr. Antico is a 2018 graduate of Pace University in musical theater. Perhaps the real surprise was the musical gift of one the Hampton Theatre Company’s regulars, Matthew Conlon, who plays Max. He’s a tenor who’s looking for his first break, but in the meantime, is the lap dog and son-in-law of Saunders (Terrance Fiore), the demanding impresario of the upcoming concert this trio will perform in just two-and-a-half hours, and the clock is ticking fast. Mr. Conlon’s voice is rich and resonant and—dare I say it?—the best of the lot. Let’s hear more of him. But what are egotistical, sexy tenors without the women in their lives? In this case, a busty, lusty wife for Tito, Maria (Catherine Maloney), along with a former lover, Russian diva Racon (Cesa Pledger), who also sings, and Tito and Maria’s daughter, Mimi (Amanda Griemsmann). None of the actors leave unfilled a single opportunity for hamming it up, thank goodness. To explain the plot that embroils these characters (Mr. Brennan also appears as a signing bellhop) would be to waste space and the reader’s time. “A Comedy of Tenors” is the follow-up farce to Mr. Ludwig’s “Lend Me a Tenor”—I see a theme developing here—which was nominated for nine Tonys and snagged two. A musical theme may be developing in Quogue, for Hampton Theatre Company will be putting on its first musical ever, “Man of La Mancha,” in the spring. With all the gloom and tension surrounding the country right now as we seemingly move inch by inch towards the midterms, it was fortuitous that the Hampton Theatre Company opened its 34th season with “A Comedy of Tenors.” It’s a much-needed antidote to all politics all the time. This is rich and frothy production, an all-around delight, with voices to match. You will exit in good spirits.

A Comedy Of Tenors Opens Season At HTC

By Bridget Leroy
The Independent
The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue fulfills an important role — it provides high-quality community theater, mainly in the offseason for year-rounders, and it has a loyal following. Ken Ludwig’s A Comedy of Tenors, the sequel to Ludwig’s smash 1989 hit Lend Me A Tenor, is just the kind of work that fits in with HTC’s choices; not exactly a deep cut, but not a famous and well-known work either. HTC tends to focus on the B sides, if you will, and with an able cast and crew, it rarely disappoints. Lend Me A Tenor punned its title after what a scrounger might say, and A Comedy of Tenors, a nod to Shakespeare, features all the fast and furious action of its prequel, but with the addition, as in A Comedy of Errors, of a doppelganger and cases of mistaken identity. First and foremost, you don’t need to know the first play to enjoy the second. The setting is a fancy Parisian hotel in the 1930s, hours before an enormous concert is about to begin, featuring the renowned and arrogant tenor Tito Merelli, wonderfully portrayed here by Edward Brennan. The play also continues the story of the grouchy mayor-turned-impresario Henry Saunders (Terrence Fiore) and his long-suffering assistant turned tenor, and also now his son-in-law, Max (Matthew Conlon). Saunders’s daughter and Max’s wife, Maggie, is stateside, about to give birth, but the concert is a priority; even more so as Saunders and Max need to scramble to find a replacement when one of the three tenors who was going to perform bows out, and the new addition is Tito’s sworn enemy Carlo (who is also secretly dating Tito’s daughter, Mimi). Throw in Tito’s passionate, spirited wife, Maria (Catherine Maloney), and a bellhop with the voice of an angel (also portrayed by Brennan), and you have an inkling of the hijinks that follows. When Tito quits in a fit of pique, thinking that it is his wife who is having an affair with Carlo, and Beppo the bellhop is tapped to perform, chaos naturally ensues, with Maria in a romantic mood, and Tito’s former lover, Racon, a spicy number played by Cesa Pledger, paying a visit as well. If all of this sounds confusing, it isn’t. The plot twists are plentiful, the farce elaborate, but there is laughter at every turn, and the audience was in stitches for most of the evening. As always, Diana Marbury directs with an able hand, and the sets, costumes, and lighting provided by Sean Marbury, Teresa LeBrun, and Sebastian Paczynski are consistently top quality. Seamus Naughton designed the sound. Connor Antico as Carlo and Amanda Griemsmann as Mimi are a lovely ingenue couple, Conlon is always a pleasure to see on stage, Fiore, Maloney, and Pledger are all in fine form. But it’s Brennan’s show, as he races between the characters of Tito and Beppo. His high-energy performance deserves a special hand

Laughter About Song: Just What The Doctor Ordered

By Beth Young
East End Beacon
You don’t need to have seen playwright Ken Ludwig’s “Lend Me A Tenor” in order to thoroughly enjoy his recent “A Comedy of Tenors,” which is now up for a three-week run at the Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue. “A Comedy of Tenors,” which premiered at the Cleveland Playhouse in 2015, brings back many of the same characters from “Lend Me A Tenor,” called “one of the two great farces by a living writer” by the New York Times at its Broadway debut in 1989. “A Comedy of Tenors” is quick-witted, fast-paced and quite funny, and it was clear on opening night in Quogue that the veteran actors were having a great time with their roles, under the masterful direction of Diana Marbury. It was also a sneak peak into the surprisingly good singing chops of some HTC regulars, as the theater company prepares to embark on its first-ever full scale musical production, “Man of La Mancha,” next spring. Henry Saunders (Terrance Fiore), a bumbling producer whose credentials include formerly serving as the mayor of Cleveland, is organizing a “three tenors”-style concert in a Paris football stadium; with the help of his former assistant-turned-singer Max (Matthew Conlon), who is slated to perform even as his wife (who is also Saunders’ daughter) is about to give birth back in the States. Edward Brennan stars as Italian tenor Tito Merelli, who is to be joined by Max on stage along with a hastily arranged appearance by a young tenor named Carlo, played by HTC newcomer Connor Antico, who is secretly in love with Tito’s daughter, Mimi (Amanda Griemsmann). Many problems arise, not the least of which is that Tito actually believes Carlo is in love with his own wife, Maria (Catherine Maloney), not with his daughter, after Tito catches Maria helping Carlo get dressed after catching him engaged in shenanigans with her daughter. Yes, that’s confusing. It gets more outlandish from there. Buckle up. Mr. Brennan has his work cut out for him in this play, which requires him to play both the ego-driven aging tenor and a bumbling Venetian bellhop named Beppo, who just happens to share Tito’s vocal ability and likeness, with none of his pretensions. He dives wholeheartedly into both roles. Ms. Maloney portrays Maria as a tough-talking romantic, a classic Italian woman with classic Italian desires, most importantly for the cohesiveness of her family. The chemistry of the three tenors (or four if you count Beppo) is palpable, and one of the most memorable moments of this evening is their rousing rendition of “Brindisi,” the drinking song from Verdi’s La Traviata. I’ve seen both Mr. Conlon and Mr. Brennan in numerous shows at HTC, and never knew they possessed such nice vocal chops. That’s not to say that they would bring down the house at The Met, but that’s part of the charm. This play is a comedy about opera, not an opera about comedy. They pour their hearts into the singing. Why not? A tempestuous Russian singer and former lover of Tito’s, Tatiana Racon, played with panache by Cesa Pledger, barges into the mix midway into the second act, just to stir up this pot of delicious hijinks and bring it to a boil. It all just works. Kudos to HTC for a delightful night of new theater.

A COMEDY OF TENORS presented by the Hampton Theatre Company

By Melissa Giordano
Broadwayworld.com
Kicking off their incredible 34th season, The Hampton Theatre Company (HTC) offers Ken Ludwig’s hysterical play A Comedy Of Tenors. This comedy farce is actually a sequel to Mr. Ludwig’s Tony nominated play Lend Me A Tenor and the wonderful cast at HTC certainly delivers. And we indeed need some laughter in these wearisome times. Currently playing through November 11th at the charming Quogue Community Hall, Artistic Director Diana Marbury excellently directs the outstanding ensemble cast of HTC vets. The uproarious tale is set in 1936 in Paris; take a few opera singers with an ego, mistaken identity, miscommunication, and a lot of top-notch physical comedy… and you have this delightfully raucous production. Terrance Fiore strongly portrays Saunders, an impresario who simply wants to bring opera to the people. In coordinating a concert, Saunders enlists Carlo, a young, up-and-coming opera star portrayed by Connor Antico, Tito, a well-established opera giant portrayed by Edward A. Brennan, and Max, a protégée of Saunders portrayed by Matthew Conlon. Each of these men are absolutely sidesplitting in their respective roles with a special kudos to Mr. Brennan for technically, and flawlessly, taking on two roles. And naturally the women of this production are absolutely brilliant. Amanda Griemsmann adorably portrays Mimi, the aspiring actress daughter of Tito and the fiery Maria, portrayed by Catherine Maloney. Oh yes, Mimi is also in a relationship with the aforementioned Carlo, who is additionally Tito’s arch rival. And Cesa Pledger rounds out the cast in the – if perhaps underused – role of Racon who is also an opera singer and a former lover of Tito. Hilarity abounds with great chemistry among the cast. Everyone is the cast is really superb in their respective roles and you truly need a strong comedic cast to pull this show off. On Ms. Marbury’s creative team, the lovely posh hotel room set is designed by Sean Marbury. We, the audience, view the living room section with “French Doors” that are open observing the “Eifel Tower”. This is enhanced beautifully by Sebastian Paczynski and Teresa LeBrun spot-on costumes. And so, A Comedy Of Tenors is a great way to kick off a sure to be dazzling season at the Hampton Theatre Company. A brilliant cast and entertaining story make for a fun night of theatre. A Comedy Of Tenors is presented by the Hampton Theatre Company at Quogue Community Hall through November 11th.
