The setting for this hysterical, screwball comedy is in a hotel in September of 1934. The general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company is primed to welcome world famous, Tito Morelli, the greatest tenor of his generation to appear for one night only as Otello. The star arrives late and through hilarious mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. Saunders and his assistant, Max, think Tito is dead. Saunders persuades Max to get into the Otello costume and fool the audience but in the meantime Tito wakes up and gets into another costume. Now two Otellos are running around in costume and two women are running around in lingerie each thinking she is with the real Tito.

Tickets are available at all Villages Box Offices and TheVillagesEntertainment.com – $18 Villagers/$23 Standard
