DROWSY CHAPERONE BROADWAY SET FULL

Rios maintains her bold voice and sweet chemistry with fiance Robert Martin (Garrett Rinker) throughout the show, especially in their charming duet, “Accident Waiting to Happen”. In the upbeat number “Show Off”, Rios cartwheels, poses, and belts, all while modestly insisting she doesn’t want to be the center of attention anymore. Spotlight-loving Janet Van De Graaff, the bride who intends to give up her life onstage for marriage, is played by Samantha Rios. In the glittering land of “The Drowsy Chaperone”, the actors portray their satirical caricatures magnificently. Chow’s thoughtful performance makes his constant onstage presence a very welcome one. Chow blends his comedic observations with the Man’s emotional backstory, proving winningly sentimental as he analyzes whether it’s better to “live or leave”. As he lip-syncs and even dances along to his beloved record, Chow humorously delivers each of the Man’s riffs and quips about the show.
