Have you ever longed for fresh musical theatre that would lift you up and transport you to a whole new world? The Drowsy Chaperone, staring Bob Martin, fulfilled my hopes and offered even more. With a paper thin story, Georgia Engel's puffy dressess, the titular chaperone's seduction of Aldooolpho and all the tap dancing in between, it was non-stop fun. Oh, don't forget the roller skates! When the Man in the Chair gets "blue" he plays LPs of his favourite old musicals - scratches, duster 'n all. The year is 1928 and when a whole stage of singers and dancers has to skip-skip-skip along with the broken record it's hysterical! And, want to know a secret? I went a second time - it's that good. Got a rush seat for $25 and laughed myself silly all over again.
