Elaine Paige returns to the West End
for the first time in 7 years to star in the Broadway
smashhit musical, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE. This irresistible,
totally original, five-time Tony Award-winning show will
magically transport you to a world of high-kicking, toe-tapping
delight.
As a die-hard musical theatre fan drops
the needle on his favourite cast album, an outrageously
funny musical from the 1920s bursts to life in his living
room. What follows is the uproarious tale of a pampered
starlet determined to give up show business to get married
and her ruthless producer intent on sabotaging the nuptials.
Add to this a Latin lover, a debonair groom, an English
butler, a pair of gangsters disguised as pastry chefs
and a very tipsy chaperone, and all manner of mix-ups
and mayhem are set to ensue.
If you’ve ever sat
in a darkened theatre and thought, “Dear
Lord in heaven, please let it be good”, this
is the show for you. It will be!
