Under its enigmatic title lurks a remarkably entertaining little show. The Drowsy Chaperone is a droll Canadian import that's part homage to the musical theater, part spoof. Narrated by the unnamed Man in Chair (Bob Martin), the show basically reenacts a 1920s musical named "The Drowsy Chaperone." This allows the creative team to match an inspired collection of familiar 1920s types---the flapper (Sutton Foster), the cad (Troy Britton Johnson), the zinger-slinging diva (Beth Leavel), the Latin lothario (Danny Burstein), the zany character actors (Georgia Engel, Edward Hibbert)---with witty, well-crafted pastiches of songs of that era. Penned by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, the tunes are instantly hummable, while the ensemble cast is uniformly superb---you know the standard is high when the awesome Sutton Foster doesn't even stand out that much. Thankfully, the "meta" concept doesn't lead to arch-irony and detachment. A genuine affection for what makes musicals so fun shines throughout, making this a real keeper of an album. --Elisabeth Vincentelli More of the Big 2005-06 Musicals

 Completely enjoyable and well performed musical August 27, 2010
Peter M. Thomasson
I've seen the musical onstage and, in preparation for performing in it myself,
purchased the CD soundtrack of Drowsy Chaperone. The performances are quite good.
What's nice about Drowsy as a soundtrack is that, with the narration, you know
pretty much what's happening without actually seeing it. If you like silly, good
fun and some excellent performances, give the CD a try.
SO ORIGINAL!! May 26, 2010

This is a very clever, funny musical with some fantastic singing. Sutton Foster is magnificent as usual. I think the best word to describe this musical is quirky. I saw it live and love the cd. I am not able to say if one would like the cd without seeing the show since I saw the show first, but my hunch is that it is enjoyable either way. Very well written.Voice Lessons To Go Volume 1: Vocalize and Breath
Delightful March 2, 2010
Ian Loveall (Los Angeles, CA)
Loved the show (saw it 3 times in LA before it went to Broadway,) and the original cast recording is fantastic.
A really lighthearted, silly, utterly enjoyable musical!
Fun music, enormously talented cast... It's just a lot of fun.
 Good...but not as good as the show itself. October 13, 2008

There's no question the cast album contains the songs of the show. However, much of the theatrical experience for this particular show is the "Man in Chair". The cast album captures only a very limited portion of his role in the show. If you have seen the show and liked it, you will probably enjoy the soundtrack. If you are buying the soundtrack as a substitute for seeing the show, you are missing out on a lot of the "live" experience.
 I never got this item!!!! October 11, 2008
