'The Drowsy Chaperone' Starts Wednesday at LZHS

Lake Zurich High School Fine Arts presents "The Drowsy Chaperone." Winner of 5 Tony Awards, including "Best Musical", "The Drowsy Chaperone" promises to delight audiences with its glamorous spectacle and audacious wit.

 The show begins when a die-hard musical enthusiast presents his favorite production, a 1920's musical called "The Drowsy Chaperone." 

The album bursts to life onstage and we are introduced to a pampered Broadway star, about to give up the limelight for her fiancée. Her producer, desperate to keep her onstage, sets out to sabotage the wedding and hilarity ensues! Caught in the cross-fire is a colorful cast of characters including a "drowsy" chaperone, a groom on skates, a Spanish prima donna, a bumbling old woman, her un-amused butler and a pair of pastry chefs with ties to the mob! 

While tailored toward more mature audiences, "The Drowsy Chaperone" has something for everyone with its lively score, larger than life characters and an airplane onstage! A love letter to the theatre, "The Drowsy Chaperone" is one of the zaniest, laugh-out-loud shows ever to hit the PAC stage! 

Four performances are scheduled for April 24, 25, 26 and 27 at 7:30 pm at the Lake Zurich High School Performing Arts Center. Ticket prices are $10 for students and $12 for adults both online and at the door.
