The hilarious musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone will play on the J.F.K stage on March 21 And 22, at 7:30 PM and March 22 at 2:00 PM. A multiple Tony award winner, The Drowsy Chaperone pays tribute to the Jazz-Age shows of the 1920s and their power to lift our spirits in hard times. The show is narrated by a die-hard musical-theater fan who plays his favorite musical album on his record player, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room before his very eyes. He, along with the audience, is transported to the a play-within-a-play full of every cliché, gag and gimmick from the golden age of musicals, including a stage-star bride, a groom on skates, a tap-dancing best man, an over-the-top romantic Latin lover, gangsters (disguised as bakers), and, of course, a tipsy chaperone. The Drowsy Chaperone features such songs as “Show Off”, “Stumble Along” and “Toledo Surprise”. So, come enjoy an evening of uproarious entertainment. You’ll still be laughing long after the final bow.
