Suggested Backdrops

The Boy Friend is primarily set in Madame Dubonnet's Finishing School outside of Nice, a boarding school for "Perfect Young Ladies". Set the scene for an evening of luxury with TheatreWorld's MAJESTIC MANSION FOYER. Later, use elegant GRAND BALLROOM - B as the setting for the ball--or select just one of these two drops to do double-duty for both scenes. For the beach scenes, bright and sunny CABO SAN LUCAS captures the crystalline waters and azure skies of the Mediterranean. Or, for something even more cheerful, choose CASTAWAY BAY, complete with sand, waves, and palm trees. FLEUR-DE-LIS PROMENADE is a quaint French street with all the right details for the cafe scene. Finally, ART DECO ABSTRACT just "roars" 1920s! It's perfect for productions that can only accommodate a single drop or want to go with a more stylized approach. Charleston the night away and fall in love with TheatreWorld's The Boy Friend Collection!

Boy Friend, The Backdrops

Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, this romantic spoof of 1920s musical comedies tells the story of English heiress, Polly, who is longing for only one thing: a boy friend. Polly's father, convinced that any boy who isn't wealthy will court Polly strictly for her financial situation, forbids her to engage any potential suitors. Honoring his wishes, Polly explains to Tony, the messenger boy with whom she's fallen in love, that she is no rich girl. This is just the tip of the mistaken identity iceberg, as love proceeds to find its way charmingly through nearly every member of the cast and bring them all to a happy ending.
