Response for The Drowsy Chaperone The theme of the musical comedy is betrayal. For example, when Adolpho seduces the Broadway girl who is in love with the oil tycoon. This relates to the present day and culture in which people are no longer interested in love but are busy looking for high social classes to satisfy their various needs.The drowsy Chaperone is an ancient musical drama related to Shakespeare’s. Adolpho is aware of their relationship but tries all mechanism to ensure that the marriage fails.
This also happens with some other great friends in the play. This is an indication of what happens in America. Most of the people want to get married into higher social classes. They do not love but are encouraged to exploit various resources that their partners might be offering. This is what we see in the play when he Broadway girl is ready to trade her career to marry the oil tycoon. The director has been able to relate various roles to the true characters in the. The characters are all fluent in their position.
Their vocal projection and movement in stage is well mastered especially for the Broadway girl. Another example id the portrayal of the man in the chair introducing the play while indeed seated in the chair. He plays the title of the musical comedy the drowsy Chaperone which is a very intelligent form of introduction (McKellar). The overall design of the play has been up to the point. The acting and the seduction pieces by Adolpho also reveals that this is an act. The various musical components that accompany this play is an indication of its title.
