The mousy, agoraphobic, Broadway fanatic ‘Man in Chair’ seeks to cure his “non-specific sadness” by listening to a recording of a (fictional) 1928 musical comedy entitled The Drowsy Chaperone. As he enjoys this rare recording, he is transported into the musical, his dingy apartment transformed into a Broadway set. Frenetic tap dancing, hysterical situational comedy, mistaken identities, and the inevitable happy ending all make for an unforgettable evening in the theatre. Music & lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison. Book by Bob Martin & Don McKellar
