I watched "The Drowsy Chaperon" musical at Shakopee High school on November 14, 2014   
Play rehearsal warm ups could be heard back stage.  The softest strain of flutes and clarinets billowed through the theater before the audience reached their seats.  The actors in this musical traveled in all forms; whether it be rollerskating, dancing, jumping or flying. Big exaggerated hats like the famous white hat worn by Amal Alamuddin could be seen on stage in this rendition of the 1930's  the Drowsy Chaperon.My favorite character had to be Adolfo, a ladies man who captured the heart of the one person who was to keep the bride in tip top shape:the chaperon. Adolfo parachuted across the stage in a big purple cape.  He was to be a European man whose too white face looked more looked like a cross between a Mexican and a Filipino. His laugh was so infectious that one couldn't help but laugh along with him.
