THE DROWSY CHAPERONE Announces Lottery Ticket Program

The producers of the new original Broadway musical THE DROWSY CHAPERONE have announced a lottery ticket program for the day of performances.

Ninety minutes prior to each performance of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, patrons will be invited to enter a lottery drawing at the Marquis Theatre (1535 Broadway) for a limited number of $25 lottery tickets to that day's performance. Names will be drawn at random one hour prior to curtain. There will be a limit of two tickets per person and tickets may be purchased using cash only. Winners must be present with valid identification at the time of the drawing to purchase their tickets.

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison and a book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, will begin previews April 3, 2006 and officially open on May 1, 2006 at the Marquis Theatre (1535 Broadway).

To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as "Man in Chair" drops the needle on his favorite LP – the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the uproariously funny musical magically bursts to life on stage. Man in Chair's infectious love of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theater.
