| Description: The Drowsy Chaperone is a Tony Award-winning musical comedy that lovingly spoofs the Golden Age musicals of the 1920s, framed as a "musical within a musical" where a modern-day fan listens to a cast recording, bringing the fictional 1928 show to life with its madcap wedding, mistaken identities, and lovable characters like an intoxicated chaperone, a Latin lover, and gangsters posing as pastry chefs. Created with music/lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison and book by Bob Martin & Don McKellar, it's a joyous celebration of musical theater tropes, featuring elaborate dance numbers and a heartwarming story about escapism and love. | |
