A musical that pays homage to the silly, predictable gems of the golden age of musical theatre, you’ll be transported to a candy-colored fantasyland! Welcome to The Drowsy Chaperone. You remember it – it’s the one where the Broadway star wants to leave the show because she’s fallen for some oil-rich lummox, so the producer hires a gigolo to woo the girl and put the kibosh on the nuptials. Those were the days - with chorus girls and gangsters, an aviatrix and, of course, the ‘drowsy’ chaperone. The Man in the Chair is your guide to this star-studded, sequin-drenched lollapalooza of a show from the time when stars had charisma, Broadway had romance and Rodgers had Hart.

When On Your Toes made its Broadway debut in 1936, this musical by American theater greats Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and George Abbott broke new ground. Gangsters, vaudeville and the Russian Ballet come together in this riotous romantic romp.

On Your Toes is a nimble comic affair, a lighthearted look at co-existence between Russians and Americans and between classical and modern art forms. The score includes There’s a Small Hotel, and Slaughter on 10th Avenue.
