Yes, I am back, and for the first time in a long time I have returned from seeing a revival of a comedy of which I saw the original production and found the revival as wonderful and in this case better than the very funny original production. I don't remember the physical production of the original LEND ME A TENOR being this athletic and funny. I think the cast is wonderful: Anthony LaPaglia, whom I knew 30 years ago as a bartender, was wonderful as the Italian tenor, and Tony Shalhoub and Justin Bartha are equally amazing. Who woulda guessed that Stanley Tucci would deliver such a funny production. It's wonderfully directed by him.
