Trinity Western University is offering up a bubbly 1920s spoof in The Drowsy Chaperone.
Playing the drowsy chaperone is Julianna Towle, a second-year TWU student and 91原创 Secondary grad.
芒鈧揑 think the beautiful thing about this story is that while it芒鈧劉s so ridiculous and hilarious, it still holds so much truth,芒鈧� Towle said. 芒鈧揑t speaks to the imperfections of life and the people around us, but it also shows the beauty and joy that can be found within them.芒鈧�
TWU芒鈧劉s spring musical follows Janet, a Broadway star who wants to leave the spotlight for a storybook romance with her dashing fianc脙漏. But Janet芒鈧劉s producer and a mischievous pair of gangsters-in-disguise won芒鈧劉t let their leading lady go without a fight. Enter, a notorious Latin lothario hired to seduce the bride. With a chaperone who芒鈧劉s not too good at her job, will there be wedding bells芒鈧� or scandal?
芒鈧揟his show pokes fun at the musical theatre world from a 21st-century perspective,芒鈧� said director Angela Konrad. 芒鈧揑t celebrates all the things you love about musicals, while poking fun at the rest. Mistaken identities, zany plot twists, catchy song and dance numbers 芒鈧�� I dare anyone not to have a good time!芒鈧�
The show features infectious tap-dance numbers, splashy jazz tunes with a live orchestra, and even tongue-in-cheek love ballads such as I Put a Monkey on a Pedestal as well as Art Deco-era set design.
The Drowsy Chaperone plays at TWU芒鈧劉s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) from March 10 to 28. Tickets are $15. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. Tuesdays are 2-for-1, and high school students are invited to attend an exclusive free performance with pizza.
