London : Steve Pemberton is set to join the London production of The Drowsy Chaperone on July 10th. The actor will replace Bob Martin as Man in Chair.
Pemberton's London credits include The League of Gentlemen and Art .
The Drowsy Chaperone stars Bob Martin as Man in Chair, Elaine Paige as The Drowsy Chaperone, Summer Strallen as Janet Van De Graaff, Nickolas Grace as Underling, Selina Chilton as Kitty, Enyonam Gbesmete as Trix, Cameron Jack as Gangster #2, John Partridge as Robert Martin, Adam Stafford as Gangster #1, Sean Kingsley as George, Joseph Alessi as Aldolpho, Nick Holder as Feldzeig, John Partridge as Robert Martin, and Anne Rogers as Mrs. Tottendale.
The musical features music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw. The creative team includes scenic design by David Gallo, costume design by Gregg Barnes, and lighting design by Brian Monahan.
In the production, 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.
