Summary: "The Drowsy Chaperone" is a musical comedy about a man who, while listening to his favorite 1920s musical recording, imagines the show coming to life in his apartment. The play-within-a-play features a cast of stereotypical characters, including a bride-to-be, her producer, gangsters disguised as pastry chefs, a Latin lover, and an intoxicated chaperone. The musical is a comedic send-up of the tropes and conventions of 1920s musical theatre.
