The Drowsy Chaperone is back this spring!
Music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. Book by Bob Martin and Don
McKellar. The Drowsy Chaperone pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920s
and the power those shows held to transport us into a dazzling fantasy and to
lift our spirits in times of sadness. The audience is greeted by the narrator,
Man in Chair, sitting on a darkened stage. He is a fan of vintage musicals that
seems to be suffering from free-floating depression, and quickly decides to
cheer things up by playing a record of the original cast recording of a
(fictional) Broadway musical entitled, The
Drowsy Chaperone. No sooner has the needle touched the record than we,
together with the narrator, are transported to a 1928 Broadway theatre and into
the Drowsy Chaperone, a play-within-a-play crammed full of every cliché, gag
and gimmick from the golden age of musicals. The show takes place at 8 p.m. on May
10, and at 2 p.m. on May 11, 2013. For more information and tickets, please
call 416-248-0410.
