- The Boy Friend è un musical di Sandy Wilson (parole e musica). La produzione londinese originale del 1954 rimase in cartellone per 2.078 repliche, rendendolo per un certo periodo il terzo spettacolo di maggior successo nella storia del West End e di Broadway (dopo e Oklahoma!) finché non fu sorpassato da Salad Days. Questo musical costituisce il debutto americano di Julie Andrews. Ambientato sulla Costa Azzurra degli anni venti, The Boy Friend è un pastiche comico degli spettacoli di quella decade (in particolar modo i primi Rodgers e Hart). Il titolo è un'ovvia parodia di The Girl Friend. (it)
- The Boy Friend (sometimes misrepresented The Boyfriend) is a musical by Sandy Wilson. Its original 1954 London production ran for 2,078 performances, briefly making it the third-longest running musical in West End or Broadway history (after Chu Chin Chow and Oklahoma!) until they were all surpassed by Salad Days. The Boy Friend marked Julie Andrews' American stage debut. Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring Twenties, The Boy Friend is a comic pastiche of 1920s shows, in particular early Rodgers and Hart musicals such as The Girl Friend. Its relatively small cast and low cost of production makes it a continuing popular choice for amateur and student groups. Sandy Wilson wrote a sequel to The Boy Friend. Set ten years later, and, appropriately, a pastiche of 1930s musicals, in particular those of Cole Porter, it was titled Divorce Me, Darling! and ran for 91 performances at London's old Globe Theatre in 1965. It is sometimes revived as a "double bill" with The Boy Friend. The original score and manuscripts for the script and lyrics can be found in Wilson's archive at the Harry Ransom Center. (en)
