Transport yourself to the carefree world of 1920s musical comedies with The Boy Friend, a charming and lighthearted musical by Sandy Wilson. Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, the story follows Polly, a wealthy but lovelorn English heiress yearning for one thing: a "boy friend." Her strict father forbids her from engaging with potential suitors because of their potential fortune-hunting motives.
Undeterred, Polly hatches a playful scheme. When a delivery boy named Tony arrives with her Pierrette costume for a fancy dress ball, they are instantly smitten. However, a hilarious misunderstanding ensues as Polly, to protect her social standing, pretends to be a poor working girl. This sets the stage for a whirlwind of romantic entanglements, mistaken identities, and playful song-and-dance numbers.
The Boy Friend is a delightful homage to the golden age of musicals. With its catchy score brimming with classic jazz and ragtime influences, witty dialogue, and endearing characters, the musical celebrates the joy of first love, the power of imagination, and the timeless spirit of romantic comedies.
