The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical with book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. It is a parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s. The story concerns a middle-aged asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favorite musical the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone the show comes to life onstage as he wryly comments on the music story and actors.
