The Chilliwack Players Guild is delighted to present five-time Tony award winning musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. This charming comedy is a toe-tapping tribute to the Golden Age of musical theatre. Written by Canadians Bob Martin and Doug McKellar, the play opens with 'Man in Chair', an endearingly enthusiastic musical theatre aficionado, inviting the audience to enjoy a treasured recording of his favorite 1920s Broadway hit, The Drowsy Chaperone.
The play-within-a-play will delight you with mistaken identities, dream sequences, spit takes, an unflappable English butler, an absent-minded dowager, a ditzy chorine, a harried best man, and Janet's "Drowsy" (i.e. "Tipsy") Chaperone, played in the show-within-a-show by a blowzy Grande Dame of the Stage, specializing in "rousing anthems" and not above upstaging the occasional co-star.
Costumes look great. i just played Janet Van De Graff and it was a blast. Looks like ya'll had fun too!
