[NEohioPAL] The Drowsy Chaperone's A Hit! Still Great Opportunities to Come See It!

[Gary Maher]

"The Drowsy Chaperone" Wows Opening Weekend Audiences!!

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 presenting the Tony award winning fresh from Broadway hit
comedy with music "The Drowsy Chaperone" for its opening at the Barlow
Community Center at 41 S. Oviatt St in Hudson to delighted crowds of
laughing theater goers. The group is one of the first theater groups in the
area to present this crowd pleasing musical comedy. With remaining
performances being held May 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.
