AVENUE Q Runs Jan. 24-Feb. 9

AVENUE Q
Dayton Playhouse
Jan. 24-Feb. 9
[Dayton]

Directed by Ray Gambrell

Set in a shabby New York City neighborhood on Avenue Q, the musical follows the journey of Princeton, a recent college graduate, who moves into the area. As he settles into his new apartment, he discovers that the neighborhood is far from ordinary. The residents, both human and puppet characters, face the challenges of adulthood, including finding jobs, navigating relationships, and searching for the meaning and purpose of life. Avenue Q is often praised for its bold and innovative storytelling, as well as its ability to connect with audiences through its relatable themes and catchy musical numbers. While it may be unconventional in its use of puppets and its adult-oriented content, the show has gained a dedicated following and has become a memorable and celebrated part of contemporary musical theater. Rated R.

Ken Ludwig’s LEND ME A TENOR Runs Jan. 23-Feb. 16

Ken Ludwig’s LEND ME A TENOR
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Jan. 23-Feb. 16
[West Price Hill]

Directed by David Routh

Cast: Jeff Hartman as Henry Saunders, Josh Galloway as Max, Anna Kahle as Maggie Saunders, Ryan J. Poole as Tito Merelli, Lesley Taylor as Maria, Chloe Hedrick as Diana, Corey Meyer as The Bellhop & Leanne Greenberg as Julia

On a big night for the Cleveland Grand Opera, Tito Mirelli, the world-famous Italian tenor, is set to star in “Pagliacci.” Henry Saunders – general manager of the company – is beyond stressed-out and insists that his assistant, Max – a nervous fellow and secret tenor extraordinaire – watch over Tito’s every move to ensure smooth sailing. But after a fight with his fiery wife Maria, Tito accidentally gets a double dose of tranquilizers! Throw in Diana, an ambitious, female co-star; Maggie, Max’s giddy girlfriend; Julia, a flirty head of the opera guild; and a meddling bellhop fighting for Tito’s attention, and you get a recipe for comedic disaster! LEND ME A TENOR is one side-splitting night at the theater!
