Additional The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast) Information
|
|
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 Vincentelli More of the Big 2005-06 Musicals

What Customers Say About The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast):

If you are buying the soundtrack as a substitute for seeing the show, you are missing out on a lot of the "live" experience. The cast album captures only a very limited portion of his role in the show. There's no question the cast album contains the songs of the show. However, much of the theatrical experience for this particular show is the "Man in Chair". If you have seen the show and liked it, you will probably enjoy the soundtrack.
Unfortunately, I never got the CD I paid for. It is October 10 and I'm still waiting. I enjoyed seeing the show. I order this from seller onyousir on Sept 7, 2008.
This is one of the most delightful, entertaining musical in years, and the recording is just as enjoyable. It should be with every collector.
I like the premise of The Drowsy Chaperone, and thought it well executed. Recalls the 20's era, with music and typical lyrics. Wish I had been able to see the show live.
and the songs are good. Get this C.D. This is a fun, and Funny show. My Favorites are Fancy dress, Toledo Surprise, Show Off, and Cold Feet's.
