The 2018 spring musical ’The Boy Friend’ was filled with humorous spoofs and a memorable score.
Some 30 students rounded out the cast in this lighthearted parody set in the 1920s. The French Riviera
serves as the backdrop for the story of an English heiress who longed for a boyfriend. Despite her
father’s stern warnings, she finds love, along with nearly every member of the ensemble, closing the
show on a delightful and starry-eyed note. See story and photos on page 38. Photo by Michale B. Herrmann.
