The Drowsy Chaperone (funniest musical)

Lisa Lambert, Greg Morrison, Bob Martin, and Don McKellar’s musical smash hit 'The Drowsy Chaperone' completely reconfigured the parameters of the modern stage at the Marquis Theatre, capturing critical review adulation. Conceived as an affectionate parody of golden-era musical tropes, the plot tracks a wealthy Broadway diva who surrenders her stage career to marry an oil tycoon, collapsing into farcical chaos involving gangsters disguised as pastry chefs, a blind matriarch, and an aviator. This specific marketing layout highlights the critical taglines branding the show as the funniest musical on Broadway, starring Sutton Foster and Beth Leavel.
