Book your seat now to be transported back in time, to the roaring twenties, in this all-singing all-dancing musical within a comedy 'The Drowsy Chaperone'! We are greeted in the present day by the narrator, feeling a little blue and putting on a favourite record to cheer up; the original cast recording of a fictional 1928 musical, The Drowsy Chaperone.
As the needle touches the record, the stellar cast from Vale Musical Society catapults us from a humdrum kitchen into a play-within-a-play on Broadway. Crammed with Vaudevillian slapstick, this musical comedy follows the impending wedding of an oil tycoon hopelessly in love with a Broadway starlet who is willing to give up her career for marriage, much to the consternation of her harried producer. The engaged couple are surrounded by a bumbling best man, clueless wealthy hostess, ditzy wannabe starlet, Latin lothario, tipsy chaperone, goofy gangsters, and glamorous aviatrix, so there is something for everyone.
Throughout the show, the narrator interjects with encyclopaedic commentary on the musical we’re watching and the fictional cast playing each character, until real life rudely interrupts the fun.
