The Drowsy Chaperone is a parody of 1920s musical comedies playing in a “show within a show” structure. The Drowsy Chaperone first opened at the Rivoli Theater in Toronto in 1998. Nearly eight years later, in 2006, The Drowsy Chaperone took its first bow on Broadway. This production was packed with an all-star cast that included the powerhouse vocals of both Sutton Foster and Beth Level. The Drowsy Chaperone won a grand total of five Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, as well as seven Drama Desk Awards.
