The Drowsy Chaperone musical

Experience Live Broadway with TicketPurchase.com

Show Information

The Drowsy Chaperone musical is a comic pastiche—part parody, part love letter to old-school musical theater—with a smart, meta-theatrical twist. Originally premiering in 1998 in Toronto (Ontario), this original musical blends Jazz Age flair with contemporary comedic timing and self-aware lyric writing. The Broadway production was directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison and a book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar.

The show’s story grew from an unexpected beginning: it started as a comedic staged “send-up” created for a wedding in 1997, then developed into a full production in Toronto. It later opened on Broadway in 2006 at the Marquis Theatre (New York) and closed in 2007. Today, it’s frequently licensed—making it a popular pick for regional, amateur, and school productions.

On Broadway, the show earned major recognition at the 2006 Tony Awards, winning Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Beth Leavel), Best Scenic Design of a Musical (David Gallo), and Best Costume Design of a Musical (Gregg Barnes). It was also nominated for top honors including Best Musical, plus nominations for direction, choreography, orchestrations, and more.

Story Summary

A lonely musical-theatre superfan known as Man in Chair invites you into his apartment to listen to his favorite cast album—The Drowsy Chaperone, a fictional 1920s musical. As the record spins, the show bursts to life in his living room, turning his space into a full-scale production.

Inside the “musical within the musical,” a bride and groom—Janet Van De Graaff and Robert Martin—get swept into comic chaos involving gangsters, mistaken identities, and nonstop showbiz antics. What makes the experience truly special is the way Man in Chair’s commentary keeps interrupting the action—hilariously cynical at times, and unexpectedly heartfelt when the music hits something real.
