When Tito Morelli, the Italian star slated to play Otello, succumbs to an accidental overdose of tranquillizers, an unknown singer masquerades as Tito.

Rick Doucette reprises the role of Tito which he first played here and in England in 1996. New to the cast are Larry Cook, Courtney Peckham, Martin Ray, Eileen Fitzgerald, Henry Cooper, Marjorie Grace and Mary Rudolph Black.
