Lend Me a Tenor with T.R. Knight Broadway bound?

Posted: 6/17/09 at 4:36pm

I apologize if this is common knowledge or has been discussed already; if so, I must have missed it.


From the Ausiello Files (about T.R. Knight):
"Per an insider, the theatrically-trained thesp is in talks to start 2010 by headlining a Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor, the classic farce he recently did a reading of with Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, and Marian Seldes."

Does anyone have any more details about a possible Broadway revival?

He'd be perfect in that role.

Word from the reading was very positive.

A full production with that cast would be delightful.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

After seeing him in Noises Off 7 years ago, I know he can definitely handle farce. I would see it, especially if the cast from the reading stays in tact.

Oh my God, he'd be playing the Victor Garber part? That's just fantastic! I'd definitely get tickets for this if it comes to happen, and what a cast!

I'm guessing the headline of the article I linked to? Sorry, post edited.

I think mormonophobic means GREY'S ANATOMY spoilers. At first I thought he meant LEND ME A TENOR spoilers and I was a bit confused.

Marian Seldes????

Nowhere in the character descriptions is there anything about a "living cadaver".

Oh, I'd like to see this. I don't care one way or the other about Knight, not being a "GA" watcher, but I've long wanted to see the play. And I love Tony Shalhoub, so if he stayed in, that would be amazing!

He was perfect in the Noises Off revival, so he should be perfect for this.

Dollypop, did I just see you insult the incomparable theatrical legend that is Marian Seldes?

What Rudy said, Dollypop.

I've heard reported that TR Knight is doing Parade at the Mark Taper in sept.

I read that as well. Couldn't he do both, though? This isn't until 2010.

Oh, no doubt he can do both. Parade only runs through November. I was just throwing that in since I hadn't seen it here. Sorry I wasn't clear. Glad to see he's getting back to the stage.

There's no doubt that Marian Seldes is a true theater great. I had the pleasure of lunching with her and a group of other luminaries about a year ago. She's witty, articulate and quite vivacious. However, she looks like she's dead.

Nah. She looks like she's lived.

Huge difference.
