Indy: Lend Me An Ex-Rocker


The Independent previewed Lend Me A Tenor: ""It's fast-paced, hilarious and everyone has to be on their game for it to work," says Brian McClure, who plays Max ... With his boyish smile and contagious energy, you'd never guess McClure is almost 35. While he broke into theater as a chorus member in the Fine Arts Center's Damn Yankees in 2003, his performance education has really come from singing in bands. For seven years, he was lead singer of Head Full of Zombies, the local cover band that's won multiple Best Of Colorado Springs awards in the Independent's annual readers' poll."

Gazette: A hilarious peek behind the scenes

The Gazette preview of Lend Me a Tenor: "Take one divo, add the traditional soprano diva, Diana, played by Nan Rubley of the Opera Theatre of the Rockies and the Colorado Opera Festival; Brian McClure, lead singer of the local band Head Full of Zombies, as aspiring tenor Max; and FAC favorite Brantley Scott Haines as the bumbling bellhop. Shake with an accidental drugging, mistaken identities, half-dressed women and lots of slamming doors."
