The Boy Friend by Sandy Wilson
The Boy Friend by Sandy Wilson
The Jazz Age lives on in this light, romantic spoof of 1920's musical comedy.
The setting is - where else? - the French Riviera. Polly, an English heiress attending Mme. Dubonnet's Fishing School, falls in love with Tony, a delivery boy. Recalling her father's warning to beware fortune seekers, she poses as a working girl, unaware that Tony is in fact the missing son of the wealthy Lord Brockhurst.
Things get complicated with the unexpected arrival of Polly's parents and Lord and Lady Brockhurst - but not to worry, a happy ending is in store for all.
The show turned Julie Andrews (in the role of Polly) into an overnight sensation. With its catchy tunes, period dances (including the inevitable Charleston) and winning sense of humor, "The Boy Friend" is a sparkling, tongue-in-cheek 1920's romp in the spirit of "No, No Nanette."
Premieres March 19, 20 and 21 at 7 PM and March 22 at 3 PM.
The Boy Friend opened on 9/30/1954 and ran for 485 performances. Here are some of the headlines from the reviews:
"Just the right combination of parody, nostalgia, and candid paraphrase of a period... a constant pleasure."
-The New York Post
"Charming...positive and disarming...companionable and sympathetic. A delightful burlesque."
-The New York Times
"A rollicking rib."
-Newsweek
The Importance of Being Earnest
Set in England during the late Victorian era, this play premiered on February 14, 1895 at the St. James's Theatre in London.
The play's humor derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. It is replete with witty dialogue and satirizes some of the foibles and hypocrisy of late Victorian society. It has proved Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
Premieres November 20, 21, and 22 at 7 PM and
Sunday November 23 at 3 PM with an English Tea at 1 PM.
