Lend Me a Lead: Actor John Astin, whom television viewers remember as husband Gomez on TV’s “The Addams Family,” will take over the role of the opera impresario when “Lend Me a Tenor” moves to the Henry Fonda Theatre. The comedy closes its sold-out run at the Pasadena Playhouse on Sunday, then opens at the Fonda next week, playing March 5-29. Astin, who previously played the impresario role in La Mirada, replaces Paul Dooley, who was injured in a motorcycle accident. Dooley’s understudy, James Greene, is finishing the Pasadena engagement.
