This Tony Award-winning musical drifts between nostalgia and celebration of a time gone by. The Man in the Chair acts as the antisocial, melancholy narrator, struggling to recapture the glory of the roaring 20’s and the original Broadway spectacle that has long passed by. As he puts on the record of his favorite 1928 musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, the characters light up his drab living room and transport him to a time when flappers and Follies were all the rage. A true love letter to the glory of 1920’s Broadway, The Man and the audience follow the plot of young Janet, a Broadway star forced to choose between her career and her marriage. Producers, gangsters, chorus girls and one alcoholic chaperone conquer the stage (and his living room) with brilliant song, dance and spectacle not seen since the prohibition.
