Theatre - The Drowsy Chaperone London Production
 "Click to view larger image")
The curtain rises on a present-day musical theatre fanatic eager to tell you about his favorite Broadway musical -- “The Drowsy Chaperone.” He’s the ultimate Everyfan and “Drowsy” is his guilty pleasure.
As he begins listening to the rare cast recording, the show cleverly and magically blooms to life, telling the hilarious tale of a pampered Broadway starlet and her debonair fiance, an overzealous producer, a dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a couple of bumbling gangsters. Ruses are played. Hi-jinks occur. And the plot spins everyone into musical comedy euphoria.

Not as good as the Broadway Show.This West End version comes across as a bit end of pier and I'm afraid to say that Elaine Paige is simply mis-cast as the Drowsy Chaperone - her performance reminded me of Hilda Baker! However she does sing the socks off As We Stumble Along. Its still well worth a visit though - you definitely leave the theatre in a better mood than when you arrived - and isn't that the whole purpose of musical comedy?
