Bainbridge Performing Arts will stage “The Drowsy Chaperone” at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays, through May 24.

Winner of five Tony Awards (including Best Book and Best Original Score), “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a loving send-up of the Jazz-age musical featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.

“The Drowsy Chaperone” is a masterful meta-musical with a show-within-a-show plot that pokes fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and the show begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

“The show is pure energy and fun – those who haven’t heard of it yet will leave never wanting to forget it!” said Dominique Cantwell, BPA’s executive director.

The production is directed by Joanna Hardie, with musical direction by Josh Anderson and choreography by Debbie Pierce.

The cast includes BPA veterans as well as newcomers, including Nelsen Spickard, Marybeth Redmond, Gary Fetterplace, Ryan Bohannon, Ryan O’Donnell, Jalyn Green, Zandi Carlson, Ben Cournoyer, Joey Chapman, Luke Walker, Colleen Gillon, Ellen Dessler, Michelle Abad, Heather Dawson, Emily Kight, Whitney Mayer, James Sgambati and Cailin Mackenzie.

Tickets are $27 for adults, $22 for seniors, and $19 for students, youth, military and teachers, at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org, 206-842-8569 or the BPA box office.
