The Tony Award winning musical 鈥淭he Drowsy Chaperone鈥 is a delicious spoof of the light-hearted, zany musicals of the 1920s. A die-hard musical fan, called the Man in the Chair, plays the record of his favorite musical and brings the characters to life in the process. Featuring glamorous show people, millionaires, a drunk chaperone, two gangsters in disguise, a wedding, and plenty of tap dancing, 鈥淭he Drowsy Chaperone鈥 is a delightful send up of the Jazz Age.
