The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical within a comedy that plays tribute to
the Larger-Than-Life musicals of the 1920's. The play focuses on The Man
in the Chair as he leads us through his favourite musical 'The Drowsy
Chaperone'. The music begins, and the Man in the Chair's apartment is
transformed; he stages the musical for us, and as he becomes more swept
up in the love story - complete with gangsters, showgirls, and of course
the Drowsy (drunk) Chaperone - the Man in the Chair brings us along with
him. This light hearted musical speaks to desire within all of us to
simply be entertained.
