Clever 'Drowsy Chaperone' is kind of a kick By Elysa Gardner
Ingenious as they were, Porter and the Gershwins are worshiped not for the way their words and music impress us but for how they delight and move us.<br> The creators of Chaperone, in contrast, reveal a snickering self-consciousness that dilutes the sense of joy vital to this kind of tribute. Like that other critically adored escapade Urinetown!, Chaperone offers too much winking and not enough wonder.
