"The Drowsy Chaperone" is a meta-musical that pays homage to the Golden Age of musical theater in the 1920s. The story begins with a man in his apartment, known only as "Man in Chair," who decides to play his favorite record of a fictional musical called "The Drowsy Chaperone." As he listens, the musical comes to life in his apartment, and the audience is transported into the show's world.

The story follows the wedding day of a famous Broadway star, Janet Van De Graaff, who is set to marry Robert Martin. However, chaos ensues when a series of wacky characters, including a ditzy chorus girl, a bumbling best man, and an overbearing chaperone, get in the way of the wedding. Along the way, we learn about the characters' hopes, dreams, and pasts, all while being guided by the commentary of the Man in Chair.

The show is filled with hilarious moments, catchy tunes, and meta-theatrical references to the world of musical theater. It ultimately celebrates the power of theater to transport us to another world and bring joy to our lives.
