"The Perfect Broadway Musical" – New York Magazine

The Drowsy Chaperone is a cheeky love letter to the musicals of the Jazz Age. When a man suffering from "non-specific sadness" puts on a record of his favorite musical, the story's characters sing and dance their way right into his apartment. Filled with sweeping dance numbers and all-out delight from beginning to end, this show will lift your spirits and put a spring in your step.
