Winner of 5 Tony Awards (including Best Book and Best Original Score),

The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz age musical

featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. 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

recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in

the chair looks on. 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 an

intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of

madcap delight.
