The Drowsy Chaperone

Winner of Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Original Score, “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a loving send-up of the Golden Age of the Broadway musical. As the show opens, a lonely man plays his favorite cast recording, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a 1928 musical. He tells the audience about the musical, which comes to life in his sparse apartment. The plot features two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a scatterbrained hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, an egotistical Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone: combining to create madcap delight.
