Title: DROWSY IS RIGHT
Product review: "The Drowsy Chaperone" has a neat concept and that's it. The music and lyrics have no bite to be satiric and are not funny to be comedic. What is left are songs so desperately trying to evoke a 20s' musical, they sweat. "Thoroughly Modern Millie" from a few seasons back was also a 20s' musical but didn't try to shove the period setting down our throats and was effortless and charming. "Drowsy" has been blessed by some of the critics trying to fool the public into thinking they will be having a great time watching this snoozer. This deception won't last for long as Broadway audiences are more savvy than that. Incidentally, Sutton Foster who played the title role in the above-mentioned "Millie" seems to have poor judgment in choosing roles-the dreadful "Little Women" and now this.If she keeps appearing in turkeys I may have to invite her over for Thankgiving dinner.The one-star is for the clever booklet accompanying the CD but after that.....BEWARE!
