The Masquerade Theatre presents The Drowsy Chaperone
Zilkha Hall
Nov 19 - 27, 2010
$66.25, $56.25, $46.25, $36.25

The Tony Award-winning musical The Drowsy Chaperone is the second production of The Masquerade Theatre's 2010-2011 season. 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 musical magically bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Described as "a love letter to musical comedy," The Drowsy Chaperone hearkens back to the song-and-dance musicals of yesteryear, and is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
