A perfect winter antidote


AN adoring but agoraphobic lover of musical theatre, simply called ‘Man in Chair’, sits in his dingy flat in New York, feeling a little blue.


Chatting with the audience he explains that he often picks up his spirits by listening to his record collection. As he places his favourite record The Drowsy Chaperone onto his turntable the show bursts to life in his room!


The Drowsy Chaperone is an effervescent spoof of old musicals and a winner of two Tony Awards on Broadway and five Olivier Award nominations.


Full of larger than life characters, it will entertain you with its catchy tunes and madcap dance routines, while the


hilarious asides from ‘Man in Chair’ allow you to laugh knowingly with him at the paper thin plot. It’s the perfect antidote to cold February evenings and is suitable for the whole family. This is Good Company’s second show at the Barn – they also brought you A Man of No Importance – and the show features a hand picked cast of talented and experienced individuals drawn from companies as diverse as Barnstormers, CODA, Mitre Players and more. It is directed by Alex Murphy, choreographed by Dawn and musically directed by Robert Randall. The show runs from the Wednesday, 8 to Saturday, 11 Feb and tickets are priced from £11. The box office number is 020 8660 7045.
