Aldolpho is an imbecilic playboy, who is intent on ruining the wedding. At first does not caring about the wedding, Manegbe’s character falls in love when she meets Aldolpho, played by Ethan Brown.

Manegbe plays an alcoholic woman who has to ‘babysit’ the bride so she does not see her fiance before the wedding. VonEschen’s amazing vocals and acting made for an uncanny imitation of 1920’s actresses.Įben Manegbe, who played the role of the Drowsy Chaperone stole the show. The main character Janet Van De Graff, played by Lauren senior VonEschen, was a typical 1920’s showgirl who falls in love and decides to quit her career to get married. Levin’s character used dark humor to comment on current events, which modernized the play.

But as the play went on, the interruptions were something I found myself looking forward to. Initially, the narrator’s interruptions annoyed me. Levin put a spunky twist on his role which was amusing to see.

The narrator repeatedly interjects during the play, telling the audience facts about the cast or his opinion. The story opens with the narrator, played by junior Lukas Levin, joking about what some people think of about going to the play. Penned by Bob Martin and Don McKeller in 1998, the musical is formatted as a play within a play in which the narrator tells the audience describes his favorite theatre production – the Drowsy Chaperone. Park’s latest theatre production, “The Drowsy Chaperone” captivates audiences with engaging storytelling and an imaginative narrative.
