Originally created as a skit for a bachelor party, The Drowsy Chaperone has traveled from Toronto to Los Angeles to Broadway, growing in size along the way without sacrificing its skewed view of classic musicals. This ATW Working in the Theatre seminar will explore Chaperone's journey from one-off entertainment into that rarest of musicals—one not based on a book, play or movie. The panel includes actor Edward Hibbert, producer Roy Miller and Tony winners Lisa Lambert (Best Score), actor Beth Leavel (Best Actress), author and actor Bob Martin (Best Book), producer Kevin McCollum (Tonys for Best Musical with Avenue Q and In The Heights), author Don McKellar (Best Book), composer/lyricist Greg Morrison (Best Score) and director/choreographer Casey Nicholaw.
