Tickets to the awards at the Orpheum Theatre, 842 S. THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, a completely original new musical comedy directed and choreographed by Tony Award® nominee Casey Nicholaw (Spamalot), with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. Hailed by New York Magazine as "The Perfect Broadway Musical," The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre. The Drowsy Chaperone earned the most nominations for 2006 Los Angeles Ovation Awards. News Londons Drowsy Chaperone to Close in August The London production of the hit Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone will play its final performance at the Novello Theatre Aug 4. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
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.
The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as ‘Man in Chair’ (Martin) drops the needle on his favorite LP the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.
