VHHS students perform “The Drowsy Chaperone,” their spring musical.
The Vestavia High School Fine Arts Department held its production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” on March 19. The play represented a collaboration of over 60 student actors, dancers, musicians and stagehands.
The play, called a “musical within a comedy,” is a lighthearted look at the early days of musical theater.
At the final performance, the lead cast members arrived at the school in costume and driven in a Rolls Royce. They made a red-carpet entrance, flanked by paparazzi.
