“There was a time, not so long ago, when America was not at war, when unemployment was on the decline, when bootleg and bathtub gin were on the rise, and a night out meant a Broadway show full of songs, an outlandish plot and, of course, a happy ending,” says director Gene Abravaya. “The Drowsy Chaperone pays homage to those shows and to that brief moment in our past when life was without question flawed but, oh, so uncomplicated.” Indeed, there is innocence about this production that takes you away from the very complicated world we live in, and it does so with a lot of humor. “It… reminds us that a simple thing like laughter can renew our courage and restore our hopes and help us take the next step – as unsure as that might be – on our individual journeys.”

This show will lift your spirits, bring dance to your step and song to your heart. The cast includes some great voices like Daniela Beem and excellent dancers. Jeff Cote, the man who plays the narrator and transforms his apartment into a Broadway stage, plays his part like a mellow standup comic who immediately warms up to his audience. “Love is not always lovely in the end,” Cote says commenting on the four love stories in the musical. “In the end there are lawyers.”
