Free Music Notes for The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast)Free Music Review: The Drowsy Chaperone Hit: 4 StarsRecalls the 20's era, with music and typical lyrics. i like the premise of The Drowsy Chaperone, and thought it well executed. Wish I had been able to see the show live.
Free Music Review: The Drowsy Chaperone CD Hit: 5 StarsThis is a fun, and Funny show. and the songs are good. My Favorites are Fancy dress, Toledo Surprise, Show Off, and Cold Feet's. Get this C.D.
Free Music Review: Some tunes to sing along with when you are feeling blue... Hit: 5 StarsIf I had never seen the show, I might agree with some of the other reviews that the music is OK but not stellar. But, having seen the show twice on Broadway and the touring group in Chicago, I consider myself a fan and the CD gets a lot of play. We purchased the CD right after the first time we saw the show at the Marquis Theater (the original cast was still intact) and it has been an excellent memento to a very enjoyable show. While close to the dialog in the show, the actor's lines have been altered slightly to allow for the story, as presented in the CD, to flow better. This is a minor alteration and it does not detract from the overall enjoyment of the CD. It does help to see the show since the "man in the chair" provides a lot more context that helps to further explain what the music is conveying but I feel that the CD is still worth a listen. Unfortunately, after a reasonably long run, the show closed on Broadway but the touring group is still visiting cities through the end of 2008. I recommend the CD to anyone who enjoys happy musicals and I definitely recommend seeing the show while it is still on tour.
Free Music Review: Great show! Hit: 5 StarsI 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!
Free Music Review: Broadway at its' best! Hit: 5 StarsThe theatre lives! This is a wonderful "new" work, with the "play within a play" format. You'll love both. This CD shines with Sutton Foster in the lead, and a star studded cast giving their all! Can't wait for the national tour to play my hometown!
