The Boyfriend
Rich heiress Polly Browne longs for love in Madame Dubonnet’s finishing school on the French Riviera. Just when she’s resigned to being the only perfect young lady without a partner at the carnival ball, Tony, the charming messenger boy bringing her costume, steals her heart. But is he what he seems? And when her father visits the school, is the spark between him and Madame Dubonnet actually an old flame?
Meanwhile, on
the beach nearby, English tourist Lord Brocklehurst temporarily escapes his
domineering wife to chase the girls, while lamenting his son’s
disappearance. Just as love is blossoming between Polly and Tony, Lord and
Lady B. seem to recognise him and Tony runs away, leaving poor Polly
devastated.
Now everything
depends on the carnival ball – will everyone get their heart’s desire?
Dancing, comedy, romance, wit and twenties flappers – The Boyfriend is one of the most stylish and charming musicals ever written.
