Deliciously silly and riotously funny “The Drowsy Chaperone” comes to Aultsville

The Seaway Valley Theatre Company invites you to the major musical production of their 2018-2019 season. The deliciously silly and riotously funny “The Drowsy Chaperone” will be staged in February at Cornwall’s Aultsville Theatre.

A man in a chair appears and puts on his favourite record: the cast album of a fictitious 1928 show which suddenly comes to life in his apartment. With two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a daffy hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and a tipsy chaperone, you have everything you need for the perfect Broadway musical. Nominated for thirteen 2006 Tony Awards and winner of five, (including Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score) this acclaimed, Canadian-penned show will delight you with its unique “play within a play” concept, its colourful characters, and its infectious, Jazz Age inspired music. Get ready to party like it’s 1928!
