Regarded as a musical within a comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone begins when a modern day, die-hard musical theater fan known simply as Man in Chair plays his favorite cast album, the fictional 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone, on his turntable. As the overture starts the musical bursts to life in his studio apartment, telling the hilarious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet giving up her life on the stage to marry her true love, and her producer so desperate to keep his showgirl that he will go to great lengths to stop the nuptials. With an elaborate cast of over-the-top characters, including the dashing groom, his best man, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, the Latin lover, and a drunken chaperone, The Drowsy Chaperone boldly addresses the great unspoken desire in everyones heart - to be entertained. Winner of 5 Tony Awards.
