(I AM NOT A SHILL FOR THIS SHOW).
Folks, there is a new show in previews now in LA that is hopefully going to go to Broadway. It's called "The Drowsy Chaperone" at the Ahmanson. All I can tell you is that YOU MUST NOT READ A SINGLE WORD ABOUT THE PLOT OF THIS SHOW BEFORE IT GETS TO BROADWAY. In fact, if you can afford it, COME TO LA AND SEE IT NOW before people start giving away its secrets.
Margo, when you were talking about the lemon musical and stated how it's, at the very least, completely original and therefore worth seeing, that's exactly what "The Drowsy Chaperone" is -- EXCEPT THIS IS GREAT THEATRE, not bad theatre that's so bad you want to see it.
What I have been telling all my friends is to drop everything and SEE IT NOW. TODAY. TONIGHT. Do NOT read about it. Don't read the reviews. They'll give it away. Don't read anything about it.
I saw it with virgin eyes and ears and I'm telling you, with all the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, THIS show is what the Producers WISHED it could be (not that they compare).
Just cross your fingers and hope that it comes to Broadway. It's singularly the freshest and more original and most hysterical show in years. And it's especially tailored for those who truly love musical theatre. You will GET this show. It comes from a place of absolutely KNOWING. And at the end, you'll even tear up.
I know I sound like a total fool here. But please just trust me on this one. This is the original, fresh show you've been waiting for.
