Gay Musical Reveals Past in The Boy Friend at Shubert
Alice Lawler reviews the English musical The Boy Friend opening at Cincinnati's Shubert Theatre. The spoof of the 1920s features energetic dancing and strong singing by Jo Ann Bayless Millicent Martin Anne Wakefield, with sharp pastiche of era personalities. Though not always exciting the show remains lively and fun, tracing flapper fashions and the era's theatrical sham through a breezy two act romp.
