The Drowsy Chaperone May 20, 2011

The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, seeking to cure his "non-specific sadness," listens to a recording of the fictional 1928 musical comedy, 'The Drowsy Chaperone.' As he listens to this rare recording, the characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into a glorious Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and over the top costumes. Blockbuster songs include 'Fancy Dress,' 'Show Off,' 'Aldolpho,' and the 'Finale Ultimo.'
