About the Show

It all begins when a die-hard musical fan plays his favorite cast album, a 1928 smash hit called The Drowsy Chaperone, and the musical-within-a-comedy magically bursts to life. Patrons are instantly transported from a drab apartment to the glamourous, hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take both the cast and the audience soaring into the rafters. With saucy old time characters and glitzy fantasy sets, The Drowsy Chaperone features an intricately plotted tale of love in crises – involving gangsters, show people, millionaires and servants – packed with high-energy production tunes like “Oh, Kay!” and “Sitting Pretty.”
