Drowsy Chaperone
26 SEP – 4 OCT
Maribyrnong College Theatre, Maribyrnong
Western Arts Theatre is excited to announce their September production of The Drowsy Chaperone.
When a die-hard theatre fan plays his favourite cast album, the characters come to life in this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical farce. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favourite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. 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.
