PREVIEW: Drowsy Chaperone Opens Theatre Guild Season (Valdosta Daily Times)
A loving send-up of the Jazz 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 the 1928 musical The Drowsy Chaperone. The recording comes to life 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.
