"The Drowsy Chaperone"

Saturday, March 01, 2025 @ 7:00pm



Middletown Arts Center
36 Church Street, Middletown, NJ 07748

Presented by the MAC Players at Middletown Arts Center

Don’t miss the award-winning musical within a comedy, presented by The MAC PLAYERS and accompanied by our accomplished, live orchestra.

Original Broadway production of The Drowsy Chaperone produced by Kevin McCollum, Roy Miller, Bob Boyett, Stephanie McClelland, Barbara Freitag and Jill Furman.

Director  Kate Cordaro  |  Musical Director Eric Sayre  |  Choreographer  Samantha Amaral   

When a die-hard theatre fan plays his favorite cast album, the characters come to life in this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical farce.

With the house lights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical,” The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.
