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

[Gary Maher]

"The Drowsy Chaperone" Continues to Impress and Entertain!!

Award Winning Comedy with Music and Winner of Five Tony Awards is Hudson
Crowd Favorite!

 

 

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" at the Barlow Community Center at
41 S. Oviatt St in Hudson to delighted crowds of laughing theater goers. As
one theater attendee put it "one of the best ever performances at the Hudson
Players" and "a great show." 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 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.
