  • Summary

  • Over the history of the Marquis Theatre, three musicals have closed during the month of December. Two of them we've already covered here on the podcast: Me and My Girl and Nick & Nora. The third one was The Drowsy Chaperone and is the focus of this bonus mini-episode. It starred Tony Award winner Sutton Foster was cast as Janet Van De Graff, Emmy-nominated TV star Georgia Engel was Mrs. Tottendale, British actor Edward Hibbert played Underling, and the inimitable Beth Leavel took on the title role of the Chaperone. My goal was to keep this under 15 minutes, but the more I learned, the more I had to include. Plus, I finally had to figure out why it didn't win Best Musical. So please enjoy this "quick" look at one of the most successful musicals that has come and gone from the Marquis.
