Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: What a wonderful surprise I had attending “The Drowsy Chaperone" at Baldwin-Whitehall High School. The theater was modern, the program book was professional, the set and costumes well organized. Obviously and happily, a well-endowed theater budget!
The musical opens up with a man sitting in a chair in his apartment feeling blue. To remedy this, he decides to listen to the vinyl album of the "Drowsy Chaperone" given to him by his mother. Musicals help him escape the real world to a time of simplicity. He then evolves into the narrator of the musical as it plays out in his apartment, turning himself into a one-man show within a musical—the Man in Chair. A truly unique setting.
