PRODUCTION HISTORY
This project began when Don McKellar, Lisa Lambert, and Greg Morrison wanted to create a parody of old fashioned musicals for Bob Martin and Janet Van de Graaf’s stag party. The three of them had known Bob since high school and were all fond of musicals from that era. They staged the earliest version of The Drowsy Chaperone at the Rivoli Night Club in Toronto in 1999, charging guests admission fees to help pay for the cost of Martin and Van de Graaf’s wedding. Upon watching the work of his friends, Bob Martin was so excited about the show that he joined the creative team as a librettist in addition to playing the newly-created role of Man in Chair. The four of them soon reworked the project for submission to the 1999 Toronto Fringe Festival, where it caught the eye of David Mirvish, a Toronto-based commercial theatre producer. Mirvish financed an expanded production of The Drowsy Chaperone to open at Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraill. Continued success led Mirvish to finance further development, resulting in a full-scale production at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre.
It was during this run that Linda Intaschi, an associate producer of Mirvish productions, invited Roy Miller, a prominent New York producer, to the show. Miller was impressed with what he saw and optioned the rights. Along with the help of Canadian actor and fundraiser Paul Mack, Miller produced a reading for the National Alliance for Musical Theatre on October 5, 2005. Broadway producer Kevin McCollum attended the reading and was so interested that he and Miller, along with several others, committed to fully producing the show. The show soon had an out-of-town engagement at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in 2005. The Drowsy Chaperone opened on Broadway on May 1, 2006 with Sutton Foster as Janet Van de Graaf, Danny Burstein as Adolpho, Georgia Engel as Mrs. Tottendale and Beth Leavel as The Drowsy Chaperone. It ran for 674 performances and won five Tony Awards (Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best
Featured Actress, Best Scenic Design, and Best Costume Design) as well as seven Drama Desk Awards.
After the close of the Broadway production, the show began its run in London’s West End with Bob Martin reprising his role of Man in Chair. However, the show was met with less success than the Broadway production and closed after fewer than 100 performances. The show has since seen productions in Japan, Australia, Brazil, and Finland.

as he chronicles the journey of The Drowsy Chaperone from sophisticated bachelor party entertainment to success on the Toronto fringe to full-scale Broadway musical:

A NOTE FROM ONE OF THE DIRECTORS
There is something truly special about this cast. From the first read-through to the final moments of rehearsal, this group has reminded me why I love teaching and directing theatre. They are wildly talented, fearless in their comedy, and deeply committed to each other. The Drowsy Chaperone is a clever, fast-moving, joyfully ridiculous show, and this cast has embraced every ounce of its humor, heart, and theatrical chaos. Their timing, physical comedy, and ability to tell this story while winking at the audience is a testament to how smart, hardworking, and genuinely funny they are.
I have been directing theatre for 29 years, and I still get the same feeling I did the very first time I sat in a dark auditorium and watched a show come to life. There is nothing quite like it. This musical celebrates the magic of theatre itself, the absurdity, the joy, and the way a story can lift us out of our everyday lives for a while. I am so proud of this production and grateful for the laughter, creativity, and trust this cast has shared with me. Thank you for supporting Weber High School Theatre and for joining us tonight. Sit back, relax, and let the comedy take over.

Director, Weber High School Theatre
