Long-time Raleigh Little Theatre artistic director Haskell Fitz-Simons will stage a community-theater production of English composer and lyricist Sandy Wilson’s 1954 musical comedy/romance, The Boy Friend, on June 8-10, 14-17, and 21-24 in its Cantey V. Sutton Theatre. The Boy Friend premiered in 1953 in London’s West End, and made its Broadway debut in 1954.
According to Raleigh Little Theatre:
“Though written in 1954, the light-and-lively spoof is set in the carefree world of the French Riviera during the Roaring Twenties. A comic pastiche of Jazz Age musicals, the sparkling farce plants its tongue firmly in cheek while beguiling audiences with catchy tunes (‘I Could Be Happy with You’) and period dances, including the latest craze, the ‘Charleston.’
