Original Broadway Cast of The Drowsy Chaperone
Roman Bartelli
[MAN IN CHAIR, spoken]
Aldolpho was played by former silent film star and world-class alcoholic Roman Bartelli. He was the one who later drank himself to death at his chateau in Nice, remember? It was five days before they found the body, by that time it had been partially consumed by his poodles? Remember? Try not to think of the poodles when you're listening to this.
