Robert Grady as Tito/Beppo
Barbara Schapiro as Maria Chris Erath as Saunders Ben Gold as Max Elise Blanchard as Mimi Anthony Rinaldi as Carlo Stephanie Mann as Racon |
One hotel suite, four tenors, two wives, three girlfriends, and a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? It’s 1930s Paris and the stage is set for the concert of the century – as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep Italian superstar Tito Merelli and his hot-blooded wife, Maira, from causing runaway chaos. Prepare for an uproarious ride, full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks, and madcap delight.

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Irish-American Erik Blake has brought his wife and his mother for Thanksgiving at the new home of his daughter and her boyfriend. His mother is suffering from Alzheimer's and his other daughter Aimee has recently been the victim of a nasty breakup. The parents are disappointed that their daughters have left home to struggle in New York City, and worried that they are abandoning their values. The Humans tells the story of the quintessential family reunion: a group of people who love each other but still wrestle with basic human fears - old age, abandonment, poverty, and death.

Have You Been Vaxed?
Over 75% of Massachusetts adults have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. We urge our patrons and audience members to get vaccinated before coming to the Playhouse! We are happy to be back in the Playhouse again but continuing to offer live productions safely depends on keeping the COVID-19 infection rate low.
As of April 2022, following protocols announced by Broadway theaters, all staff, volunteers, and patrons must wear medical grade masks (surgical masks, KN95, or N95) inside the Playhouse for performances. We will no longer require proof of vaccination. We will not sell concessions at this time. We encourage patrons to buy tickets online and print them at home or use mobile ticketing to reduce lines at the box office. If conditions warrant, we may change these requirements following Commonwealth of Massachusetts and CDC guidelines.
If you don't feel well on the day you have tickets to a performance, please let us know by calling 508-668-8446 and we'll exchange your tickets for another performance. You can also exchange your tickets online.
For more detail, see our COVID-19 Protocols.
Give the Gift of Theater!
To purchase gift certificates online, go to our retail page and enter the amount you want. We can mail the gift certificate to you or to a recipient. Gift certificates can be redeemed online.

We'll mail you a gift certificate that is good online or at our Box Office. We can also send a physical gift card on request.
