The Drowsy Chaperone

Theatre Calgary was visited on Wednesday by myself, my sister and my boyfriend. We were excited about a night out and were completely surprised by the amazing showing of the Drowsy Chaperone! It was a delightful 1920's musical with (as claimed in the program) only a weak story-line to connect the amazing musical numbers together. Along with the talented cast who I thought was just spectacular in their singing and dancing abilities there was a wonderful twist to the corny 1920's musical. The Man in the Chair was our tour guide to the play, letting us see the wonders of the classic play but also pointing out when it was just being ridiculous. It was the perfect combination of cynicism and carefree delight in musical theatre. I laughed so hard at points and though the theatre was quite warm it couldn't take away from the play. I am crazy about this play and think everyone should go see it if they enjoy musical theatre.
