Winner of five Tony Awards, The Drowsy Chaperone is a hilarious homage to Golden Age musicals. When a man plays a recording of a 1928 show, it springs to life; complete with romance, gangsters, and an intoxicated chaperone. A witty, meta-theatrical romp sure to keep you laughing from start to finish.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine.

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit: https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
