Free Music Review: Great show!
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw this show when it first came to Broadway. I left the theater thinking it was "OK." For the rest of the summer, though, my friend and I sang a few of the songs whenever we were together (specifically, "I Am Adolpho," "Toledo Surprise" and "As We Stumble Along"). I enjoyed the music more and more as time went on, and she purchased the CD so we could enjoy. I especially like that some of the words spoken by Man In Chair are on the CD. I am sad to see the show closed on Broadway, as I never was able to see it a second time, as I would have liked. But I love listening to my CD of the music.
You may not enjoy this if you have not seen the musical. Some of it makes a lot more sense when you see the whole storyline. Don't give it a bad review if you have only listened to the CD and not seen the play!
The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
Under its enigmatic title lurks a remarkably entertaining little show. The Drowsy Chaperone is a droll Canadian import that's part homage to the musical theater, part spoof. Narrated by the unnamed Man in Chair (Bob Martin), the show basically reenacts a 1920s musical named "The Drowsy Chaperone." This allows the creative team to match an inspired collection of familiar 1920s types---the flapper (Sutton Foster), the cad (Troy Britton Johnson), the zinger-slinging diva (Beth Leavel), the Latin lothario (Danny Burstein), the zany character actors (Georgia Engel, Edward Hibbert)---with witty, well-crafted pastiches of songs of that era. Penned by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, the tunes are instantly hummable, while the ensemble cast is uniformly superb---you know the standard is high when the awesome Sutton Foster doesn't even stand out that much. Thankfully, the "meta" concept doesn't lead to arch-irony and detachment. A genuine affection for what makes musicals so fun shines throughout, making this a real keeper of an album. --Elisabeth VincentelliMore of the Big 2005-06 Musicals
