Coronado Playhouse returns “The Drowsy Chaperone,” to its stage this April. The 1920s musical is an inventive and self-aware comedy that celebrates the magic of theatre (while lovingly poking fun at it).
The Tony Award-winning production follows a devoted musical theatre fan, known only as Man in Chair, who seeks comfort from life’s uncertainties by playing his favorite cast album.
As the record spins, his modest apartment transforms into the setting of a lavish 1920s musical, complete with tap-dancing ensemble numbers, a starlet bride, a charming groom, mistaken identities, gangsters in disguise, and one very drowsy chaperone.
The show will run at Coronado Playhouse from April 10 to May 10, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., along with matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets are available at CoronadoPlayhouse.org
