Harris Broadway Series 2008-2009 Season   

Get ready to be transported to a magical, wonderful world!

A 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 new musical comedy that is swooping into town 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 into the rafters.

Gallagher has the distinction of being the first real star to come out of cable television. To date he has done sixteen specials.

A Gallagher concert is an unforgettable experience. He is a keen and original observer of human nature and the American "scene." "My humor makes people think," Gallagher says. "I want people to look more closely at this country and their lives to see the humor and absurdity in it all."  Flash photography allowed.
