Bay Theatre Players are entering their second weekend of their first major production for 2021, The Drowsy Chaperone, after a hugely successful opening night last Friday. Opening weekend had the audiences belly laughing, cheering and clapping for the 20-plus cast bringing this musical comedy of the 1920’s to life on the Playhouse Stage.
Patrons of The Bay Theatre Players have been delighted by this colourful and energetic show, with several already returning for a second show and bringing their friends too! There is so much to take in - beautiful music and dancing, catchy one liners and lots of cheeky humour. A review from opening weekend “..Its quirky, funny and brilliantly directed… This show is honestly as good as it gets”.
The plot centres on Janet Van De Graaff, a showgirl who plans to give up her career in order to marry an oil tycoon, Robert Martin. Janet is the star of the “Feldzieg Follies” and a lot of money is riding on her name to sell the show. The producer is being threatened by a pair of gangsters if the wedding goes ahead. The ensuing plot incorporates mistaken identities, dream sequences, a Latin Lothario, an unflappable English Butler, a Drowsy Chaperone and so much more!
The Drowsy Chaperone is playing at the Bay Theatre Playhouse every weekend until 1 May 2021. Good seats are available for most shows but get in quick as the word about this wonderful show gets around! If you come on a Friday or Saturday night, you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer before the curtain goes up.
