Who is your favorite DROWSY character, aside from Man in Chair?

We all relate to Man in Chair, but of the "characters" in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, who is your favorite, and why?

Mine is Kitty. Jennifer Smith just totally hams it up and has so much fun with her! My favorite part is during Toledo Surprise when she says,

Back up dancers? Holy cats!

Then goes on to do her rendition of Toledo Surprise ending with,

Sugary yum yum

(pause)

Surprise!


It gets me laughing every time I listen to it. Who is your favorite DROWSY character, aside from Man in Chair?

WOOHOO DROWSY! Who's your fav?

Kitty annoys the hell out of me. So does Alolpho. So does that guy in your avatar. And Eddie Korbich. And the Tall Brothers.

I love the title character. She makes the show.

Didn't much like the show, but Jennifer Smith had the one line that did make me laugh. The bit about "Think of a number between 5 and 7".
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

First of all, just a pet peeve, it's Aldolpho, people always seem to leave out the "l." I think that's due to the fact that the track list had the mistake on it. Just like Wicked and freaking "As Long as Your Mine." Blah.

Anyway, the title character fo' sho'. She's just so...drowsy.

The title character does it for me! However, the service guy that comes in at the end to check on "man in chair's" electric..and they share a moment about their secret love of musicals,,,ummm...he's a favorite because I think there's a spark there...something...perhaps in the sequel there will be another "gay wedding"????

Aww, sondheimfan2, I love that moment! It's so sweet after the whole show not seeing Man in Chair interact with any other person but the audience. Then that repairman just arrives and the exchange is so basic and simple and just sincerely funny.

Wanna Be...I agree with you, it's a terrific moment and helps to elevate the show to the status it deserves (alas, it should have won the Tony!). Maybe I'm projecting here...I think there might be a little more in that exchange than meets the eye.

I loved Aldopho, but Mrs. Tottendale and Underling are close behind along with the Producer. The whole show was hilarious! I can't wait to see it again!

Aldolpho and the Chaperone - the "I am Aldolpho" number was just sensational between the two of them.
I do love Tottendale though, adorable. And the "pastry chefs"! BUT my first two answers win for me.
