About the show:
Identities are mistaken, engagements are broken, and lovers are reunited when the wily and chronically hungry servant Truffaldino hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. The physical comedy and mayhem is directed by Christopher Bayes, whose hilarious choreography is featured in the hit Broadway, and soon-to-be Off-Broadway stage production of Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps.
