“Will it all work out in the end? Of course it will! It’s a musical.”

Be transported to the hilarious and wonderful world of the 1920s musical, “when the champagne flowed while the caviar chilled and all the world was a party.” It all begins when a die-hard musical fan shares his favourite cast album, a smash-hit called “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and the show bursts magically to life in his apartment. Fast, funny and filled with surprises, this Canadian musical-comedy was the toast of the 2006 Tony Awards and will leave you soaring with laughter.

What a delightful combination: Delicious singing, dancing, costumes and scenery, paired with a decidedly modern and opinioned narrator who guides us through the story. This production comes to us from Manitoba Theatre Centre where The Winnipeg Free Press exclaimed it as “…a true theatrical lark, funny, dance-happy and oddly uplifting.” I’ve seen it and I agree.  - Dennis
