‘Drowsy Chaperone’ play dates, times and cast list

Play:  The Drowsy Chaperone

Book: Bob Martin and Don McKellar (both were Tony winners in 2006).

Score: Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison

Synopsis:  Janet Van De Graaf is marrying Robert Martin, and the glittering starlet of Feldzieg’s Follies is leaving the stage for love! When wealthy widow Mrs. Tottenham decides to host the wedding of the year at her palatial estate, she gets more than just a nice write-up in the society pages. Horrified at the prospect of losing his star, Feldzieg, has hired a more-vain-than-verile Latin lover by the name of Aldolpho to seduce the bride and, not willing to leave Feldzieg to his own devices, his angry and anxious principal investor has sent two gangsters disguised as pastry chefs to make sure that wedding doesn’t take place. Can the Drowsy Chaperone foil Aldolpho’s plans? Will the best man, George, make sure that Robert makes it to the wedding on time or will he inadvertently torpedo the very nuptials he’s trying to promote?
