The Drowsy Chaperone at The 5th Avenue Theatre | watch clip (3:49)
"Here is a musical that frankly sets itself up as a short (1 hour 40 minutes), happy exercise in escapism, adorned with just enough postmodern footnotes to make you feel all insiderly. It’s sort of like being able to eat your cake and diet too." The New York Times
"Irresistible! A witty, winning, refreshing cocktail of a show." Variety
"An evening of happy hilarity and dizzy delight." Sunday Express
"Wonderfully smart and funny." Sunday Times
