The Drowsy Chaperone
Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison | Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar
Directed by Krissy McGregor
Choreographed by Benjamin Simpson | Music Directed by Owen Posnett
Produced by Jennifer Thomas
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. 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. The recording comes to life, and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. 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. 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’ fizzes with energy at Little Theatre of Alexandria
The sparkling production is a funny, entertaining showcase of immense talent, but even more, it’s a reminder of the power of the arts.
