Madison Theatre Guild has launched its 70th season with a remounting of Sandy Wilson’s musical comedy The Boy Friend. Set in the 1920s, this show is a romp through the trifles of high society life as young heiress Polly tries her hand at the dating game. Her overprotective father attempts to keep her from dating below her social order — a policy Ms. Polly is not too keen to adhere to. The Boy Friend is a charming little number that rekindles the age of carefree Broadway.
