Villanova University President (and Barrymore Award-winning director) Father Peter Donohue returns to Villanova Theatre with the Philadelphia premiere of this delightful musical confection.  The darling of the 2006 Tony Awards, this hilarious show-within-a-show begins when a die-hard musical theatre fan puts on his favorite record – the cast album of the (fictional) 1920s musical The Drowsy Chaperone.  From the scratchy crackle of his phonograph, a madcap musical magically bursts to life, transforming his humble apartment into a dazzling world of song, dance and comic ingenuity.  Deft, original, and seriously side-splitting.
