Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Short North Stage
by Paul Batterson - May 11, 2025

Although the cast took a wrecking ball to the fourth wall separating the audience from the actors and the show within a show is intentionally light on plot, The Drowsy Chaperone serves up a cocktail that is two shots of Golden Age musicals, a jigger of acerbic wit, three parts parody, and a half ounce of honesty.

'It’s full of satire, especially of the musicals of the 1920s before they had figured out story structure, character development, or basically anything else Rodgers and Hammerstein figured out in OKLAHOMA.' Jeremy Blaustein

Dinner and a show is the best way to spend an evening, and it’s even better when the talent is as impressive as the cast in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at the Searcy Summer Dinner Theatre. Paying homage to the 1920s era of musical theater, this show is hilarious! I loved every minute of it, and you will too. With only one more weekend to go Thursday, August 1 through Saturday, August 3, you need to get your tickets, if there are any left.

Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Bastrop Opera House
by Victoria Schwarz - May 7, 2024

The musicals of the 1920s-1940s are rich territory for parody since many imported the stylistic elements (vaudeville, dance hall style, revue, et al.) of popular entertainment of the era to carry the shows, often disadvantaging well-developed plot lines and complex characters.
