[NEohioPAL] The Drowsy Chaperone to Open in Hudson April 29th!!!

[Gary Maher]

"The Drowsy Chaperone" Enroute from Broadway to Hudson for April 29 Opening

Hudson One of the First Theaters in the Area to Produce Award Winning Comedy
with Music and Winner of Five Tony Awards 

 

 

The Hudson Players (the Fox 8 Hotlist 2010 Akron/Canton Area Theater Group
of the Year) are readying the Tony award winning fresh from Broadway hit
comedy with music "The Drowsy Chaperone" for its opening on April 29 at 8
p.m. at the Barlow Community Center at 41 S. Oviatt St in Hudson. The group
will be one of the first theater groups in the area to present this crowd
pleasing musical comedy. With performances being held April 29, 30, May 6,
7, 13, 14, 15, 20 & 21, it's been called one of the funniest plays ever and
begins when a die-hard musical fan plays his favorite cast album, a 1928
smash hit called "The Drowsy Chaperone". As he begins listening to the rare
cast recording, the show cleverly and magically blooms to life. People tap
dance for no reason, gangsters pretend to be pastry chefs, Chaperones get
tipsy, a latin lover pursues the bride and a pilot invites a group of
strangers to accompany her on a trip to Rio. It's all ridiculous but that's
what makes it so fun. The show affectionately sends up all the odd things
that happen in old fashioned musicals, all along with a running humorous
commentary by our narrator who talks directly to us and explains the
hysteria. Ruses are played, hi-jinks occur, and the plot spins everyone into
musical comedy euphoria.
