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.Prepare one, 32-bar cut of a song that you feel comfortable singing.Feel free to email any questions to info@cdctheatre.org with the subject line “Drowsy Chaperone”.
