Lend Me a Tenor will run at the Millburn, New Jersey, theater from February 13 through March 10, 2013. “Lend Me a Tenor is the perfect cure for the winter blues,” remarked Mark S. Hoebee, Producing Artistic Director for Paper Mill Playhouse.  “It is no wonder that this play was hailed by The New York Times as ‘one of the funniest farces to ever appear on Broadway.’ Lend Me a Tenor is one of the most hilarious comedies ever written, and we are thrilled to bring it to New Jersey with this all-star cast.”

Lend Me a Tenor will be performed eight times a week, Wednesday through Sunday.  Performance Schedule: Wednesday at 7:30pm, Thursday at 1:30pm and 7:30pm, Friday at 8:00pm, Saturday at 1:30pm and 8:00pm and Sunday at 1:30pm and 7:00pm.  Single tickets are on sale now and range from $26 to $97.
