Toronto was the birthplace of this delightfully unpretentious musical comedy spoof of 1920s musical comedies that took more than five years to reach the great white way. Somewhere along the way the intimate little show got bigger, brassier and funnier but lost more than half its original score. No matter. The authors won Tony Awards for the show's book and the score, which is a pure delight. The Cd even includes a dropped song by Georgia Engle and showcases Sutton Foster's star performance with just enough of Bob Martin's narration to make take you inside the inside jokes. The humour extends to the CD packaging. The booklet offers some faux vintage ads, a mock up of the original Lp cover of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, a detailed synopsis, a fascinating behind-the-scenes story and all the lyrics. A delightful package.
