Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison
Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar
The Drowsy Chaperone is a wacky homage to classic musicals. A lonely man pops on his favorite cast album, and the 1928 musical within the record bursts to life on stage. Filled with singing gangsters, a tipsy chaperone, and a dramatic love story, it’s a hilarious send-up of musical tropes, with catchy tunes and dazzling dance numbers.

Bo kidnaps Cherie (well, sort of) with the intention of taking her back to Montana to be his wife. Trapped in the diner, tensions flare as Bo’s domineering personality clashes with Cherie’s world-weary cynicism. The play explores themes of desire, control, and the battle between fantasy and reality.
