Don't miss this show!, Apr 10, 2007
|
reviewer: Sue from Northern NJ
|
| The name may not be as well known as other productions, but it should be! A wonderful ensemble cast performs one of the best scripts ever written for a musical comedy. The musical numbers were a blast. Some you just have to see to believe (a monkey on a pedestal?), but 6 months after the show I still am laughing! We met a few of the cast at the stage door after the show, what a nice group of people, all saying they are having a great time doing this show. It is one of the smartest shows I have ever seen, even though it is very silly. There is no intermission, and the ushers told us this before curtain, which was much appreciated. I would see this again in a minute! It is definitely "Lovely in the end"! |

Surprising Fun, May 30, 2006
|
reviewer: Emily from Ohio
|
| I had no idea what to expect when I stumbled into this show last weekend. From the first few words spoken in the darkness, I knew I was in for a treat! Although probably more enjoyable for the frequent musical go-er, everyone can appreciate the witty writing and wonderful timing of this quirky little show. It's a terrific look back at when theatre was fun, and proves as silly and over the top as musicals can be, audiences still love them. Who needs vampires and vines, when you can have good old fashioned slapstick and a few spit takes? |

I Left the Theater Smiling!, Jul 27, 2006
|
reviewer: Elizabeth Vyner from Connecticut, USA
|
| I just saw "The Drowsy Chaperon" at yesterday's matinee. What a great show! Its very well written, with wonderful songs and music. The performers were all spectacular. It was fresh and original, and perhaps the best thing I've experienced in New York in years. The awards were well deserved, and I hope it has a long successful run. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! |

| What a wonderful escape, you can get into each character as the show develops. The acting is outstanding and leaves you laughing and talking about the wonderful time you just experienced after leaving the theater. Don't miss it ! |

A GEM!, Apr 27, 2006
|
reviewer: John from NYC, NY
|
| What a fantastic little show. I went, knowing nothing about it, but had a hunch it would be good. It's funny, smart, and well done. It's short (1 hour, 40 minutes) with no intermission, which I LOVE! I liked it; I really liked it. I hope it's reviews are deservingly good and I really hope it gives "The Color Purple" a run for best new musical at the Tonys. |

PURE FUN, Jun 25, 2006
|
reviewer: Mollie from CT
|
| What a treat! The premise is appealing; the narration, clever. The music, lyrics, dancing, jokes, sight gages, sets, and costumes are outstanding. I'm surprised that it didn't win even more Tonys than it did. Don't hesitate. Treat yourself to some pure fun! |

Okay, Sep 28, 2008
|
reviewer: Alex Karpinski from USA
|
| This musical isn't what I was looking forward to. I had a good time. But I think the show should have been improved. This show is funny and the music is great and it has a good heart. But they should have made it longer with an intermission. There should have been an intermission because after the show almost every person who saw, was on line for the bathroom. It was good but not good enough like "You have to see this show or you will never forgive yourself". It is not that. It is a musical I would recommend but not much. To sum it up, I enjoyed it. |
