THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, a thrilling “musical within a comedy,”debuted on Broadway in 2006 and was an instant sensation, winning seven Drama Desk Awards and five Tony Awards. Variety raves that the show is "Irresistible!" and The New York Times called THE DROWSY CHAPERONE "Ingenious!"
To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theater addict drops the needle on his favorite LP, the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. When the record begins to play, the 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 wedding, the dim but debonair groom, a Latin lover, a pair of bumbling gangsters, and of course, the drowsy chaperone. This hilarious show-within-a-show features a zany book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and a soaring score by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison.
