SYNOPSIS:
Hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical,” The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful meta-musical that lovingly pokes fun at the golden age of musical theatre. This Canadian musical was the winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.
As the houselights dim, a man settles into his easy chair and puts on his favourite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and under his loving and wryly humourous commentary The Drowsy Chaperone begins. 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.

REVIEW: Theatre Ancaster's Legally Blonde: The Musical is a Delightful Frenzy of Pink, Polish and Purpose
The lasting impact of Legally Blonde: The Musical appears fun and frivolous and it is, in the best way possible.

Its impact proves that finding one's purpose, even when the odds are stacked against you, never goes out of style…
