Lights Up! Presents “The Drowsy Chaperone”

Lights Up! Theatre Company hits the ground running in 2023 with its first of two musical productions! Santa Barbara’s premiere teen theater company is proud to present The Drowsy Chaperone! A Tony award-winning spoof of the Ziegfeld Follies type musicals of the 20’s, it was hailed as the funniest musical on Broadway in 2006. When a lonely, die-hard musical theater lover drops the needle on their favorite cast recording, a zany and wonderful world comes to life before their eyes. A high spirited cast of gangsters, showgirls, and matinee idols tango, tap, and Charleston their way through this witty and bubbly “musical within a comedy”. For all its effervescence, though, there is a dramatic undertone; The Drowsy Chaperone is also a timely story about how people find hope during a time of isolation, and the importance of love, connection and community to our mental health. Mark your calendars for January 26th-28th, because this wild and wonderful musical is one you won’t want to miss!

The Drowsy Chaperone opens at the Marjorie Luke Theater on Thursday, January 26th and runs through Sunday, January 28th. Performances are 7:00pm each evening, with a 1:00pm Saturday matinee.
