The Drowsy Chaperone is on tour and hits the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh, NC, Closed May 12, 2013
From its premiere at the Ahmanson to a big hit on Broadway, it’s coming home again for a very limited engagement.
Get ready to be transported to a magical, wonderful world where the critics are in awe, the audiences are in heaven and the neighborhood is buzzing with excitement.
Welcome to The Drowsy Chaperone, the musical comedy with tons of laughs and the most 2006 Tony® Awards of any musical on Broadway! It all begins when a die-hard musical fan plays his favorite cast album, a 1928 smash hit called “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and the show magically bursts to life. We are instantly immersed in the glamorous, hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take both the cast (literally) and the audience (metaphorically) soaring to the rafters.
"You're unlikely to have as funny an evening of theater this season as you will at this hilarious, side-splitting show."
Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC TV
"INGENIOUS! Few productions have ever pulled an audience so immediately and unconditionally on their side."
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"CLEVER, GLEEFUL and INTELLIGENT!"
