The Drowsy Chaperone's touring production landed in Raleigh in early 2008, a parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s. The story features a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favorite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit "The Drowsy Chaperone", the show comes to life onstage as he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors. Cast members included Cliff Bemis, Andrea Chamberlain and Jonathan Crombie.
