The Drowsy Chaperone is my sort of musical. Probably because
it isn’t one. It’s more a play about a nerdish and lonely man bringing a pretty
naff one to life. It’s awfulness makes it almost wonderful. At least to him. Stand
outs amongst the cast conjured for our entertainment were Joanna Yirrell as a Hollywood
queen, Sarah Albert as the obligatory vacuous blonde and Steve Peters as the
beautifully crafted Man in Chair. Not everything worked but overall I loved it.
If you didn’t go because you had never heard of it then you missed a treat. Roy Hall
