THEATRE + COMEDY

The Masquerade Theatre presents The Drowsy Chaperone, November 19 through November 27. The Tony Award-winning musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison,is the second production of The Masquerade Theatre’s 2010-2011 season.  Just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays, it's a madcap farce that you'll be loosening your belt to get all the belly laughs out of!

To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as the '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 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.
