The Drowsy Chaperone musical @ Lucas Theatre in Savannah

Step into a Broadway time capsule with The Drowsy Chaperone, presented by SCAD’s School of Film and Acting, May 22 – 25 2025 at the Lucas Theatre in Savannah.

The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical-within-a-musical that brings the glitz and glamour of 1920s Broadway to life. Running from May 22–25 at Savannah’s historic Lucas Theatre for the Arts, this Tony Award-winning comedy follows a lonely theater enthusiast—known only as “Man in Chair”—who escapes into the world of his favorite forgotten musical.

As he plays the original cast recording, the show bursts into life in his apartment, complete with mistaken identities, tap-dancing groomsmen, and a delightfully tipsy chaperone. Don’t miss this whimsical journey through Broadway’s past!
