The Drowsy Chaperone debuted in 1998 at The Rivoli in Toronto and opened on Broadway on. As the show comes alive, he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors. A parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s, the story concerns an agoraphobic, asocial musical theatre fan.Īs he plays the record of his favorite musical, the fictional 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone, the show comes to life onstage, the characters appear in his apartment, and his apartment is transformed into an impressive Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and glitzy costumes.

The vinyl comes complete with lyrics, full color production photos, and a CD of the vinyl version which includes dialogue not heard on the Drowsy Chaperone Original Cast Recording.
Just like the album the "Man In Chair" has in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, we've also pressed limited edition vinyl records featuring songs and dialogue from Drowsy's show-within-the-show. The CD comes with a full color 32 page booklet, which includes lyrics, production photos, and other treasures from Man In Chair's personal theatre memorabilia scrapbook. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE includes two bonus tracks: "Message From a Nightingale," (from the Gable & Stein musical The Enchanted Nightingale) and "I Remember Love," a song that was cut from the original production. While we're not 100% certain, we believe this is the first ever cast album within a cast album in history maybe. THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is a love letter to musical theatre, cast albums and the people who love them.
