A Musical Within a Comedy
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
Music & Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison
Book by Bob Martin and Don McKinnon
Directed by Paul Daigneault
Featuring Karen MacDonald and Will McGarrahan
May 6 - June 4, 2011
Mayhem, mix-ups and a gay (in the old sense of the word) wedding mark the high-spirited hijinx of The Drowsy Chaperone, winner of five 2006 Tony Awards. The fun begins when a die-hard musical fan plays a favorite cast album on his turntable, and the show magically bursts to life in his living room. Instantly he is immersed in the hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day in a show that pays tribute to the American musicals of the Jazz Age.
