Visually, the production was outstanding.
Summary by Stageify
An AIMS adjudication of Rush Musical Society's The Drowsy Chaperone, seen on 21 March 2026. The adjudicator calls it a highly enjoyable and thoughtfully realised production, praising the direction, the committed cast, the set, costumes and hair and make-up, and singling out the Man in Chair and Adolpho performances. Main criticisms concern sound, with the orchestra often overpowering singers and chorus, along with timing issues in the tap numbers, uneven unison in the choreography, sharper transitions between real and imagined scenes, and more development of the Mrs. Tottendale and Underling storyline.
