The Boy Friend
a no-brainer, a gorgeous fantasy that demands you suspend meaningful thought while your heart claps along to its syncopated rhythms.

Why see The Boy Friend?
Perfect Young Ladies
Bust those winter blues with this ever-delightful warm-hearted comedy, revived for its first major London run in a decade. Starring Janie Dee and Adrian Edmonson, let yourself be swept back to the roaring twenties where the students of Madame Dubonnet's School For Young Ladies are preparing to launch themselves into the world and discover much longed for romance. Wonderfully jolly and bursting with classic tunes, spirited dance numbers, and lashings of flirtation, you're sure to be seduced!
First produced in 1953, Sandy Wilson's pastiche of the era soon became one of the best in British musical fare, with productions spanning as far afield as Finland. Not only that, it's American run was also the Broadway stage debut of a certain Julie Andrews...
