About the Play

That's what an overture is: a musical appetizer. A pu pu platter of tunes, if you will.

Directed and Choreographed by Marc C. Howard

The Drowsy Chaperone is the Tony Award winning homage to American musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans who adore them.

A modern day musical theater addict known simply as "Man in Chair", seeking to chase his blues away, drops the needle on his favorite LP – the fictional 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. Man in Chair's love of "The Drowsy Chaperone" speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theater.

Starring: Alexandria Marzullo, Brenda Willis, Clayton Minder, Don Bernardo, Eric Oswald, Jerry Schaber, John Hickman, Laurel Bryant, Libby Merriman, Lisa Tarr, Mark Moore, Mark Snyder, Michael Rogan, Ryan Bernstein, Suzanne Davis, Tina Burgett-Krause and Tom Boehringer.
