"The Drowsy Chaperone" (MTC)

Season's kick-off, and as GFC-proof as a play could be. Crowd-pleasing MTC-style musical theatre, and done well, helped along by Geoffrey Rush's central turn. The key word here is 'fun' - it doesn't pretend to be much more than that, but, sharply written and well-mounted, it didn't give me any cause for complaint.

(this year's troupe including several newcomers; not sure, but I think the full complement would be Steph, Ben K (absent from this one though), Gia, Bec P and some others who I know less well - Katie H, Dioni P, Rachel G and Marnie O'B)
