West Valley Light Opera WVLOA Sweet Charity!

Coming to this theatre in its Saratoga premiere is this truly modern, original musical within a comedy. It pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920's and the power those shows held to transfer the audiences into a dazzling fantasy and lift their spirits in times of sadness.

The story is based on a diehard musical theatre fan who plays his favorite cast album and the music literally bursts to life in his living room telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find and keep her true love. It offers a sentimental, sweet, hilarious and sometimes surprising look at the impact that musical theatre can have on a person and the pure, unbridled joy it can bring.

"The Drowsy Chaperone" opened in Toronto, Canada in 2001 and after a successful run, moved to New York in 2006.

Songs in the score include "Fancy Dress", "As We Stumble Along", "Message From A Nightingale", "Love Is Always Love", and "I Do I Do In The Sky".
