Description

What happens when you mix a Follies starlet, a tottering old lady, a man of a thousand (bad) accents, and a woman who loves a good martini? Well, you get "The Drowsy Chaperone"!

John and John discuss how the show uses tropes of the Golden Age, the technical elements that make this show a delight, and whether its better to "live, not leave".

Also - there are singing gangsters.
