The Drowsy Chaperone

23-27 Feb 2001, Joseph Rowntree Theatre
The Drowsy ChaperoneMusic and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison: Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar
The curtain rises on a present-day musical theatre fanatic eager to tell you about his favorite Broadway musical -- “The Drowsy Chaperone.” He’s the ultimate Everyfan and “Drowsy” is his guilty pleasure.

As he begins listening to the rare cast recording, the show cleverly and magically blooms to life, telling the hilarious tale of a pampered Broadway starlet and her debonair fiance, an overzealous producer, a dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a couple of bumbling gangsters. Ruses are played. Hi-jinks occur. And the plot spins everyone into musical comedy euphoria.
"To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as 'Man in Chair' drops the needle on his favourite LP — the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the uproariously funny musical magically bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Man in Chair's infectious love of The Drowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theatre."
 
Get ready to be transported to a magical, wonderful world! 
 
'Pure comic show biz... A sure-fire crowd pleaser.'
'It's a show that will make every musical theatre tragic's heart beat faster'
'Slick, witty, affectionate and very funny... a joy in every way.'
