Jean is sleepwalking through her life until she answers a dead man’s cell phone. It turns out to be a wake-up call that sends her on a date with the dead man’s brother, a drinking binge with his wife, and a mysterious rendez-vous with his mistress.

The Drowsy Chaperone @ Cadillac Palace Thtr
The Five-Time Tony Award®-Winning Musical, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, Will Play Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre for a Limited Two-Week Engagement April 1- 13, 2008
Broadway In Chicago presents the most celebrated musical of the 2006 Broadway season, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, a completely original musical comedy, at the Cadillac Palace Theatre for a limited two-week engagement April 1-13, 2008.
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE tells the story of a modern day musical theater addict known simply as "Man in Chair". To chase his blues away he drops the needle on his favorite LP-the 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life on-stage telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Man in Chair’s love of TheDrowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theater.
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE will play Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre in a limited two-week engagement April 1 – 13, 2008. The performance schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, April 1, 8 p.m.
Wednesday, April 2, 7:30 p.m.
