A delightfully witty valentine to the Golden Age of musicals, "The Drowsy Chaperone" bursts to life when a lonely theatre fan drops the needle on his favorite record and a musical extravaganza springs to life before his eyes! Dazzling dance numbers, bumbling gangsters, and a boozy chaperone fill the stage in this laugh-out-loud celebration of musical comedy. With terrific tunes, clever dialog, and irresistible charm, "The Drowsy Chaperone" is both a parody and a tribute to the joy of Broadway itself. Equal parts nostalgia and nonstop fun, it’s a sparkling love letter to the magic of theatre and those who adore it. This show is recommended for ages 10+ with mild language and adult themes For more ticket information contact the box office at (619) 435-4856 or email boxoffice@coronadoplayhouse.com.
