A middle-aged, musical theater fan decides to play for the audience an LP of his favorite musical, the fictional 1928 show “The Drowsy Chaperone.” As the record plays, the show – a parody of 1920s musical comedy – comes to life onstage as a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, “The Drowsy Chaperone” was hailed by New York Magazine as “the perfect Broadway musical.”
