Audiences are Delirious with Delight for
The Drowsy Chaperone!
|
|
|
The Drowsy Chaperone opened to a sold out house and a standing ovation last Saturday night and is ready to delight audiences once again this weekend. Both side-splittingly hilarious and poignant,
The Drowsy Chaperone features everything from great songs to fantastic dancing to more baking puns than you ever thought were possible. This is a show not to be missed.
Don’t take our word for it. Check out some of the glowing things our audience members have been saying:

“We've been going to these shows for forty years and both of us thought this was one of the best they've ever done--definitely four stars out of four. It is a laugh a minute (make that a ‘second’), the music is wonderful and the performers are just great.”
“A wonderful night out. We have enjoyed performances at the Sunnyvale Theatre before but this one was exceptional. Going on opening night was also exciting.”
“Great production and performances!...Fast paced, really fun, with an undercurrent of pathos in the narrator role that made it overall a great experience.”
“I can't say enough about this show other than to say that if you go and you don't like it, then you don't really like live theatre. The acting is spot-on, the choreography is fun and inventive, and the vocal work is top-notch. There are lots of twists and surprises along the way...Go, just go, and have a rollicking great time!”
“Great fun! Ambitious production and they pulled it off perfectly. Loved the aspect of the narrator sitting in his chair at the side talking us through the musical. LOL!”
“Great production of a fun musical. this is how community theater should be done!”
“The singing and dancing was impressive! I loved Adolfo, his facial expressions were hilarious!”

The Drowsy Chaperone runs just three more weekends. Don’t miss out on the chance to see this hilarious production! |
