Book, Lyrics, and Music by Sandy Wilson
Princeton Day School's Upper School Theater is proud to re-visit the musical, THE BOY FRIEND, one of the first musicals produced at PDS!
The Jazz Age lives on in The Boy Friend a light romantic spoof of 1920's musical comedy. Written in the fifties as "a new musical of the twenties," this is still considered the most successful, and witty of the send-up musicals.
Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, this romantic spoof of 1920's musical comedies tells the story of English heiress, Polly, who is longing for only one thing: a boyfriend. Polly's father, convinced any boy who isn't wealthy will court Polly strictly for her financial situation, forbids her to engage any potential suitors. Honoring his wishes, Polly explains to Tony, the messenger boy with whom she's fallen in love, that she is no rich girl. This is just the tip of the mistaken identity iceberg as love proceeds to charmingly find its way through nearly every member of the cast and bring them all to a happy ending.
The Boy Friend is appropriate for audiences of all ages.
Running Time: 120 minutes with two short intermissions.
