THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, the Tony Award® Winning original musical comedy guaranteed to make the audience laugh, is coming to Thousand Oaks and the Bank of America Performing Arts Center at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza from March 9-14 as part of the 2009-10 Broadway Series.

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE follows a modern day musical theater addict known simply as “Man in Chair†as he tries to chase his blues with his favorite LP – the 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life on-stage telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Man in Chair’s love of The Drowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theater.
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE received more Tony Awards® than any other musical of the 2006 season, including Best Book (Bob Martin and Don McKellar); Original Score (Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison), Costume Design (Gregg Barnes) and Scenic Design (David Gallo).
