The Drowsy Chaperone

Theatre Production: The Drowsy Chaperone

The Drowsy Chaperone Graphic

Join the “man in the chair,” a huge fan of Broadway, as he shares his favorite (fictional) musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The show comes to life in his living room, where we meet Janet, the star who’s giving up Broadway for marriage. Then there’s her producer, Feldzieg, who’s determined to change her mind and keep the bucks rolling. He even enlists a couple mobster associates to help in the persuading. While the chaperone is distracted, you and your date will roar at this madcap musical tucked inside a comedy.
