The Drowsy Chaperone

This is one of my all-time favorite musicals and HCTWV's production is magnificently mounted. Kudos to the wonderful Dave Tinney for a job well done! The entire cast needs to be congratulated! They are all stars in their own right and made this gem of a musical magical for me. The million dollar HCTW stage which is sometimes overused was not in this production. It was appropriately used to move the plot forward and quickly. It wasn't the star of the show. I wish that HCTW would do this for all shows! My dear friends Kelly Coombs and Ames Bell were both incredibly delightful as the leads and both are stars in the making! The Man in the Chair broke my heart! He was absolutely wonderful and not only broke but stole my heart! My dear long time friend, Marcie Jacobsen really shined, as always, as the Chaperone. This performance among many goes to prove why I will go to my grave, madly in love with Marcie! Thank you HCTW, the cast and crew, and Dave Tinney for a job well done and for reminding us why we love theater and how it can transform lives!
