Last night my roommate and I saw the show The Drowsy Chaperone at the Bob Carr.
What a fantastic musical! The songs, lines and actors were hilarious and quite sarcastic. The narrator, or Man in the Chair, was brilliant and had such amazing comedic timing. Basically the storyline is a guy in his apartment shares with the audience his favorite musical. He puts the record on and begins to unfold the scene for us (which is appearing in his mind, but in reality on stage) and intermittently stops the music and the show to give some history or interesting facts about the actors or plot line. All the while poking fun at musicals, theatre, those who attend musicals, and the musical theatre fanatical fans.
It's genius, really...if you get a chance, definitely go see this one, the music album doesn't do it justice!
I'm so glad my roommate invited me to see it with her! :)
Here's a clip from the Tony Awards...
