The Chatham Community Players is excited to bring the musical comedy, “The ‘Drowsy Chaperone” with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, and a book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar from April 17 – May 2, 2026 to The Chatham Playhouse 23 North Passaic Ave. Chatham. The Director is John AC Kennedy of Springfield, with Eric Van Hoven of Denville as Musical Director and Julia Cassisi of Cranford is the Choreographer.
Step into the whimsical world of The Drowsy Chaperone, a fast-paced musical comedy that bursts to life with outrageous characters and catchy, clever tunes to deliver a family-friendly, heartfelt tribute to the golden age of Broadway. As our narrator guides us through his favorite cast album, you’ll relive the wonderful absurdities of classic American musicals, get caught up in a ridiculous and engaging story, and be treated to parody/homage numbers that may be more fun than the originals. The Drowsy Chaperone is a fond and funny round-of-applause for live musical theater, and a joyful reminder of why we fell in love with the stage in the first place.
The talented cast includes actors from all around New Jersey: Starring Aaron Kellner of West Orange as Man in Chair, Sky Spiegel Monroe of Morristown as The Drowsy Chaperone, Devyn Joan Schoen of South River as Janet van de Graaf, Luke Basile of Morristown as Robert Martin, Edgar Hidalgo of Wests Orange as Aldolpho, Brendan Lynch-Littlejohn of Ridgewood as Feldzieg, Mikayla Cintrón of Kenilworth as Kitty, Ann Minski of Fanwood as Mrs. Tottendale, Donald Earle Howes of Chatham as Underling, Gus Ibranyi of West Caldwell as George, Jeff Campbell of Morristown as Gangster 1, Mario Capriola of Jersey City as Gangster 2, Tess Borsecnik of Jersey City as Trix the Aviatrix, and the Ensemble is made up of Joe Cremona of Nutley, Ann Pattan of New Providence, Emily Rhinesmith of Pompton Plains, Max Rogers of Linden and Nikki Vaiknoras of Cliffside Park.
Rounding out the production team is: Producer Joe DeVico, Stage Manager is Elizabeth Rogers, Scenic Designer is Roy Pancirov &amp; John AC Kennedy, Lighting Designer is Alex Fritsch, Costume Designer is Fran Harrison and Andrea Sickler, Sound Designer is Joe DeVico, Scenic Artist is Joëlle Bochner &amp; Dean Sickler, Props &amp; Set Decorator are Jessica Phelan and Make-up &amp; Wigs is Alyson Pemoulie’ Halter. "This production isn't just a ton of fun, it's a love letter to the magic of theater. Full of outstanding performances, great music and some heartfelt comedy, come let the Chaperone transport you from everything going on outside of our little playhouse. I guarantee you'll be entertained", explained DeVico.
Performance dates are April 17, 18, 24, 25, May 1 &amp; 2 at 8PM and April 26 at 3PM. All performances are at the Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Avenue, in Chatham. Advance Tickets are $27 for Adults &amp; $24 for Seniors/Students and Walk-Up/In-Person Tickets are $30 for Adults &amp; $27 for Seniors/Students.
