The Drowsy Chaperon

This is a decent comedy/musical. It's basically a few good songs, strung together by a thin plot, which it admits to and embraces.

The premise is that a man, puts on a record of an old musical. While he listens to the record, the musical happens in the back ground.

The man adds his commentary to the recording-- pointing out how weak the story is, skipping over bad scenes, repeating interesting points and pausing to explain details about the actors and the production.

The Drowsy Chaperon is good postmodern fun. It doesn't try to be deep or edgy. It just wants to be a lite and entertaining musical. At that it succeeds..
