Reader Reviews"Lend me a tenor" is the second play I've read by playwright Ken Ludwig, the first being "Moon Over Buffalo." I've concluded that Ludwig's plays are best performed, rather than just read. He includes much action and physical stage direction that cannot be fully appreciated when being read in bed or while sitting on the sofa. A lot of it is silent acting, with movement and facial expressions. The beginning was very witty and funny (reminding me of Neil Simon), but as the play read on, it became drawn out and overdone. After the mistaken identities and confusion, I expected the ending to be a "big bang," but after the climax, it lost steam. But, maybe when seen on the stage, it is fine. For it's readability factor, I "sorta" recommend.
