Synopsis:

To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as 'Man in Chair' (Martin) drops the needle on his favorite LP – the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs.

Sutton Foster in Thoroughly Modern Millie

"Just like her stage work, Sutton's drawings can be appreciated on two unique levels. From afar, they suggest a moment caught in time, a portrait of nature. But look closely at the details involved and you can appreciate the hard work it takes for Sutton to make it look so easy."

"If the song list is eclectic, so is the singer. You know that magical quality of morning light after a night of torrential downpour?

Redemptive. Pure. Joyful, but hard-won by having survived the rain."
