I love Drowsy Chaperone, but I always felt like this scene fell flat and that it left the whole thing unresolved. This is the first version I've ever seen that has a strong ending. God, that hug!

WOW this was absolutely stunning. The Man in Chair has some of the most genuine emotion I've seen in this ending seen. Again I'm amazed

I get to play man in the chair this fall... so excited! I hope to live up to the expectations

FINALLY! Been seeing a couple of these lately, and been frustrated by the people playing the Man in the chair. Here, however, it's perfect! The insecurity, the struggle with life, the reason for loving musicals, it's all so well captured. Actually brought tears to my eyes. If this was actually uploaded by the actor playing that role - BRAVO! BRAVO!

I loved the London production, but don't remember having tears in my eyes as I just did watching this.

A literal interpretation of how I feel during every musical theater performance! Tears and all! Beautifully done

This was the same show I did my senior year. I have heard this monologue and ending song hundreds of times. This performance brought me to tears immediately. I don’t know how else to describe it. This portrayal of Man in Chair has got to be beyond the best I have ever seen. There was just so much raw feeling behind it. I started sobbing

I feel like that in this number when the MIC says goodbye and is with the characters is him saying goodbye to the world almost, and when he goes into the fridge with Trix is him dying. He took basically the only thing he loved with him (the Drowsy Chaperone record) and just left the real world. I don't know if that was the actual point of the ending so I might sound dumb but I think it puts a lot of things into perspective. I loveee this show

Gosh, this was so emotional. I believe that the narrator is committing Suicide at the end of the play. He goes from seeing the performance in his head to joining in, greeting the cast, the desperate hugs, the tears, the goodbye as he walks off into a bright light... It's so heartbreaking. His performance in this was fantastic.

I think he entered on magical word or on the record it self. Bob martin said on Twitter that the man on the chair did not committ suicide, insted he entered in a “musical heaven”.

Wow so real and raw with emotion. Best I've seen. Wow.

This is so emotional. The best performance I have seen, by far! Fantastic job!

Beautiful show, I love it so much!

holy shit this is more emotional than i thought it could end up being

Words cannot express how badly I want to see this whole production

Very impressed with the acting

I'm incredibly amazed

Amazing costumes and set too

They are so sweet and lovely. What a talent :3

Loved it! !!!

Deep inhale, deep exhale, don't cry in public..... Eh fuck it

Wow, them some eyebrows and they are upstaging you.

For me, way too much air.

Wow! Way to end this hysterically, funny musical comedy on such a downer. Here, The Man in Chair was way too depressing to the point of being manic or suicidal. Not the point of this show or this role at all. I played Man in Chair 3.5 weeks,after my Mother passed away, and I still wasn't this emotionally crippled. I got choked up, verklempted and made him real and emotional, but was not utterly falling apart like what was portrayed here. It's suppose to be tender and uplifting. I wasn't digging this interpretation. Maybe if there was less pauses and had less air between, it would have played better.

You’re very well entitled to your own opinion, but man in chairs life is a very sad story and if anything this was him realizing how sad his life was. Many reason that he dies at the end and this is also his (The actor’s) interpretation of the story, you could’ve easily worded it in a way that wouldn’t come off as disparaging as you did.
