Boy Friend at SIUC offers light summer theater nostalgia
Ben Gelman reviews The Boy Friend at SIUC McLeod Theater as light entertainment set in the Roaring Twenties with flappers, finishing schools, and Charleston numbers. The plot is thin but the revue features strong dancing by Maisie Burklow and Dulcie, aided by choreography from George Pinney and a capable Summer Playhouse Orchestra under Michael Hanes.
