  3. THE BOY FRIEND


Transport yourself to the carefree world of 1920s musical comedies with The Boy Friend, a charming and lighthearted musical by Sandy Wilson. Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, the story follows Polly, a wealthy but lovelorn English heiress yearning for one thing: a "boy friend." Her strict father forbids her from engaging with potential suitors because of their potential fortune-hunting motives.

Undeterred, Polly hatches a playful scheme. When a delivery boy named Tony arrives with her Pierrette costume for a fancy dress ball, they are instantly smitten. However, a hilarious misunderstanding ensues as Polly, to protect her social standing, pretends to be a poor working girl. This sets the stage for a whirlwind of romantic entanglements, mistaken identities, and playful song-and-dance numbers.
The Boy Friend is a delightful homage to the golden age of musicals. With its catchy score brimming with classic jazz and ragtime influences, witty dialogue, and endearing characters, the musical celebrates the joy of first love, the power of imagination, and the timeless spirit of romantic comedies.


42ND STREET MOON Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

42ND STREET MOON is at The Gateway Theatre, 215 Jackson St.m San Francisco, CA 94111, SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

42nd Street Moon, was founded in 1993 in San Francisco by Artistic Directors Greg MacKellan and Stephanie Rhoads. At the time, the company’s mission was to present staged concert performances of lesser-known and “forgotten” Broadway musicals of the 1920s through the 1970s. Actors held scripts in-hand throughout the performance, usually accompanied by a single piano, and there were no sets or elaborate costumes. The company continued in this concert format for 15 years, however, in 2008 we put down the scripts and added costumes, choreography, and full blocking. As the company looks towards its 30th Anniversary, 42nd Street Moon honors the past, present, and future of musical theatre, and looks forward to continuing to celebrate the vitality and vibrancy of this art form. As a professional company, 42nd Street Moon is on Tier 4 of the Bay Area Theatre Agreement of Actors’ Equity Association.
