The stage is set at the French Riviera during the Roaring Twenties for “The Boy Friend,” 7:30 p.m. March 1, 2 and 2 p.m. March 3, Dyer Auditorium, Moravian Academy, 4313 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem Township.

The musical’s director Jarrod Yuskauskas, Moravian Academy Theater Arts Director, says, “In the tradition of Moravian Academy Theatre’s farcical ‘Drood!’ and satirical ‘Urinetown,’ we bring you both in this madcap musical romp.”

An heiress, Polly, falls for a messenger boy, Tony, in the spoof of romantic comedies. The cheery musical features a case of mistaken identity, new love, old flames, and music from the Jazz Age as they all dance The Charleston.

Yuskauskas, a veteran professional actor, is assisted by associate choreographer Deena Linn, music director Dr. Yvonne Robinson, technical director Rob Riker, orchestra conductor Dr. Richard Fanning, dance captain Elizabeth Burke (Moravian Academy, Class of ’19), assistant dance captains Michael Schellenberg (Moravian Academy, Class of ’19) and Emma Gross (Moravian Academy, Class of ’21), and production stage manager Seneca Phillips-McGraw (Moravian College, Class of ’19).

Book, music and lyrics are by Sandy Wilson.

Musical numbers include “The Boy Friend,” “Won’t You Charleston With Me?,” “A Room in Bloomsbury,” and “It’s Never Too Late To Fall In Love.”

The Broadway production that opened in 1954 marked the American stage debut of Julie Andrews.
