About the Show: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is the tale of a modern day musical theatre maven, known simply as “Man in Chair.” To chase his blues away he plays his favourite LP- the 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his phonograph, the musical magically bursts to life on-stage telling the tale of the pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up showbiz to get hitched, and her producer’s attempt to sabotage her impending marriage. Hilarious antics ensue with her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorus girl, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters masquerading as pastry chefs. Man in Chair’s love of The Drowsy Chaperone communicates to anyone who has ever been transported to the theatre.
