Renton Civic Theatre closes out its 2014-2015 season with “The Boy Friend,” running through June 27.
Set in the French Riviera in the 1920s, this Jazz Age musical comedy is a light, romantic spoof with book, music and lyrics by Sandy Wilson and directed by John Kelleher.
Polly, an English heiress attending Mme. Dubonnet’s Finishing School, falls in love with Tony, a delivery boy. Recalling her father’s warning to beware fortune seekers, she poses as a working girl, unaware Tony is in fact the missing son of the wealthy Lord Brockhurst.
Things get complicated with the unexpected arrival of Polly’s parents and Lord and Lady Brockhurst, but not to worry, a happy ending is in store for all.
“The Boy Friend” is a sparkling, tongue–in–cheek 1920s romp.
The show plays at 7:30 Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays through June 27 at the Renton Civic Theatre, 501 S. Third St.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors and students. For more information or to purchase tickets, call the box office at 425-226-5529.
