Limelight Performing Arts, in partnership with Studio 3 Performing Arts, will give audiences a taste of American musical comedy in the Roaring 20’s with a youth production of The Drowsy Chaperone, which runs April 21 through May 7 at Studio 3’s Artspace Theatre in Gilbert. Winner of five Tony Awards and hailed by the New York Times as “the perfect Broadway Musical," The Drowsy Chaperone pokes fun at all of the clichés that characterize the musical theatre genre. When showgirl Janet Van De Graff makes plans to leave her career to marry oil tycoon Robert Martin, Follies producer Mr. Feldzeig is forced by a pair of gangsters disguised as pastry chefs to sabotage the wedding. Meanwhile, best man George tries to help the would-be groom keep his nerves in check, and Janet’s drowsy chaperone imparts her own brand of wisdom.
