My friend asked me the other day if I’d heard anything about Jonathan Crombie (Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables fame) playing Man in Chair in The Drowsy Chaperone, and I said “oh no, I get The Drowsy Chaperone newsletter, I’d surely know if he’d been in the show.” Then I had a sickening feeling as I remembered how I’d rather cavalierly deleted one or two of those email newsletters without really reading them. Sure enough, I checked the trusty IBDB the next day, and found to my great dismay and regret that yes, I did miss my chance to see the wonderful, Canadian Jonathan Crombie in person in such a wonderful show, and could even have, perhaps (swoon), gotten his autograph (and said something very embarrassing and stupid I’m sure) at the stage door!! It almost seems fitting that on the heels of such horrible news, I check out Playbill.com today to find that The Drowsy Chaperone is closing at the end of the year. It’s a sad day my friends. A very sad day.a sad day December 20, 2007
