About the show: Winner of five Tony Awards, “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a delightful look into the world of a musical theater super fan. The show’s narrator invites us into his home to share with us his favorite musical comedy from the 1920s. As he turns on his record player, the musical bursts to life and his home transforms into the show’s set. “The Drowsy Chaperone,” the clever musical-within-a-musical, is the perfect evening of theater for those who love to be entertained. Music and lyrics are by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, with a book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar.
The Omaha Community Playhouse is at 6915 Cass St. in Omaha.
