Winner of 5 Tony Awards, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz age musical that pokes fun at the entire musical theatre genre. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical: The Drowsy Chaperone. The recording comes to life—mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and a “drowsy” chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
