ADS Industry presents “The Drowsy Chaperone”.

Paying tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920s and the power those shows held to transport us into a dazzling fantasy and to lift our spirits in times of sadness. The audience is greeted by our hero, The Man in Chair; an isolated fan of vintage musical theatre who is excited to share his love for his favourite musical by playing a record of the original cast recording of “The Drowsy Chaperone”. No sooner has the needle touched the record than we, together with the narrator, are transported from a crowded New York apartment to a 1928 Broadway theatre filled with glitz, glamour, champagne and choreography. A play-within-a-play crammed full of every cliché, gag and gimmick from the golden age of musicals.

Directed by long time ADS teacher Amy Bryans in her final show at the school, this show is not one to be missed.
