THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
Music and Lyrics: by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison
Book: by Bob Martin and Don McKellar
Original Broadway production of The Drowsy Chaperone produced by Kevin McCollum, Roy Miller, Bob Boyett, Stephanie McClelland, Barbara Freitag and Jill Furman.
Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the 1920’s Broadway musical comedies, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. With the houselights down, a lonely theatre fan plays his favourite record: the cast recording of the 1928 musical The Drowsy Chaperone. As he guides us through the recording with his exceptional knowledge of the show, this fictitious musical comes to life around him. Mix in two lovers on the day of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a confused hostess, a desperate theatre producer, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight
