weave between the comedic jester to the bemoaned lover has made his career entertaining to follow.

separate tours, without Jonathan Crombie, both in the United States and in Canada. Check, "The Drowsy Chaperone Tour", website for locations. ******************************************************************************** 08/08 Jonathan is still playing, "Man in Chair", in Seattle, Washington for the last stop of this Companies show of "The Drowsy Chaperone Tour". After this appearance, new Actors will take over the roles and continue to take the musical back East. So if you have been putting off seeing Jonathan and the rest of this excellent company perform in this show, this will be your last chance. Alicia Irving took over as the character, Drowsy Chaperone and did a fine job when we saw the show in Sacramento. The other two replacements, for Kitty and the Aviatrix are also very entertaining. Everyone is so nice and we really loved having the chance to meet up again with the Cast and Crew. It's been quite an experience for us following this show. Be careful of what you ask for because oftentimes, in an odd sort of way, it usually comes true. 08/08 The Drowsy Chaperone Tour has left us here in the SF Bay Area but what a great time we had! Jonathan is still holding his own as, "Man in Chair" and we were so happy to see him putting on a show out here for us. We met all of the Cast and everyone was wonderful. Most of the players showed up to strut their stuff for the, "One Night Only" REAF AIDS Benefit and it was great seeing what has now become many of my favorite Actors singing different songs from other shows. Well, Jonathan and Richard Vida sang a very revealing song written by Lisa Lambert that was said to be much too bold for most performances of the popular Musical, "My Fair Lady". I can only imagine Ms. Lambert sitting back, watching that show, then finding the urgent need to cut through all of their, "innuendo" and just say what you mean? An Aids Benefit seemed like the perfect framework for this song, "Pickering, Relax". Mr. Crombie sang with a perfect English Accent while Mr. Vida struggled mightily, trying not to laugh over Ms. Lambert's overly bold lyrics. We had American Idol stand-outs Vonzell Solomon, Constantine Maroulis and Susan Anton, who sang her heart out too. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many performers who are incredibly funny, amazing singers and serious about their volunteer work for this very worthy cause. 07/08 Congratulations to the whole Drowsy Chaperone Tour Co. for winning a Dora Award, (Canadian Tony Award), for best Touring Show! They have worked hard for this honor. Finally the Tour has hit the West Coast Thank you for helping to support Jonathan's work and making it possible for him to present this funny show across America. Fans have really been very supportive! The funniest comments I have read so far are how surprised fans of Jonathan's previous work in the Anne of Green Gables Series are to find him up on Stage in a touring Broadway Show! Ah, well, I guess they haven't found this website yet but it is the main reason I put it up on the Web. I too found myself wondering what else has Jonathan been up to? Well, now you know and I hope you find some of his other work Entertaining as well. I really do appreciate the nice comments I have gotten about the website. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! ************************************************************************* 4/07 John Mitchell, Jonathan's partner on the Documentary, "Waiting for Ishtar", gives a basic description of his project for the Toronto Sun, February 4, 2007, in the Entertainment Section of their Newspaper. You can also find out more by visiting their Blog at www. waitingforishtar.com ***more talk of Ishtar in the Toronto Star by Jonathan Crombie in the March 13th edition. 4/07 What an amazing visit I had to New York. It was everything and nothing like I believed it would be like. "The Drowsy Chaperone" though was laugh out loud funny. Not quite what I expected but something entirely entertaining. More along the lines of "Beach Blanket Babylon", here in the San Francisco Bay Area and just as much fun. A musical farce it is definitely a show that will find a welcome audience out here by the Bay. Jonathan was wonderful and a little excited himself to be so welcomed by so many fans out there on the East Coast. Even Canadians picked up their passports,(in fear of being stuck here permanently in the U.S. by our diligent Homeland Security), to show their support of Jonathan Crombie's Broadway debut. He loves to make people laugh and he achieved that feat in excess! I was delighted too! Of course, I wasn't surprised but very happy to know others shared my admiration of this fine Actor and the show's Cast of Kooky Characters. Jonathan spent many nights after the show signing the barrage of autograph seekers and photo taggers lined up for autographs. What a guy! The show is written by Don Mc Keller and Bob Martin, lyrics and music by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, friends of Jonathan's. His own involvement in the show has been a long one and they all have been working together to keep the show going on strong. 3/07 The film short, "Empty Room", in which Jonathan is playing the part of the Husband, is up for distribution. Contact cfccreates.com for more information. You can see a short preview at www.lynnekamm.com. A very touching and unsettling look at a Mother's grief over the fate of her child. How her emotional turmoil effects the stability and security of what was a happy Marriage.
