theatre review
UT's 'Boy Friend' (almost) perfect
“The Boy Friend”
University Theatre
May 15
I've never liked musicals much. I yawn at
the generally poor dialogue, poor voices,
poor acting and terrible plot. I giggle at the
gaudy costumes and the slipshod danc
ing Most musicals have only reminded me
how lucky we are that theatre and music
are generally performed separately
However, I thoroughly enjoyed The
Boy Friend.” True, the plot is as thin as a
well-worn nylon and there are a few
missed cues, but on the whole the show is
a delight to the eye and the ear
The play is set in a posh finishing school
on the French Riviera The story is a
typical boy-meets-girl where Todd Her
manson is the boy and Lyndra Seely is the
girl The problem is that Seely 's character,
Polly, is the daughter of a millionaire who's
afraid that all the boys are only after her
money. Hermanson's character, Tony, is
also heir to a small fortune, but has fled his
life of wealth and is working as a mes
senger boy. They meet, fall madly in love
and agree to go to the Costume Ball
together, but, predictably, everything gets
messed up
Madame Dubonnet (Kimberly Ander
son), the head of the school and her
comical maid Hortense (Martha Moyer)
have to step in to fix everything up
Meanwhile, the other girls of the school
whirl through the play, pursued by a
number of suitors Throw in some stuffy
parents and mix it all up, and voila! you've
got “The Boy Friend "
Luckily the other elements of the
production more than make up for Sandy
Wilson’s script, especially the troupe's
superb singing Hermanson and Seely
have excellent voices, and have obviously
received some good coaching from vocal
director Charlene Whitney The vocal star
of the show, however, is undoubtedly
Anderson, with a clear, strong voice that
makes her “Poor Little Pierette" the high
point of the show Anderson's perfor
mance is an unexpected pleasure, and is
much better than the level of most college
troupes
Remarkably enough, the troupe's danc
ing is almost as good as its singing The
audience went wild over the four girls
(Melanie Leslie, Jean Robison, Janet
Thorstenson and Susan Fleck) version of
the Charleston in the title song "The Boy
Friend ” Not to be outdone, Hermanson
and Leslie add some superb tap dancing
during "I Could Be Happy With You "
Dance professor Janet Descutner’s chor
eography kept the show lively and inter
esting, making the most of the players’
talent.
And then there's the acting This is
Seely’s first lead performance any
where She auditioned in hopes of landing
a chorus part, but does a great jo her lead
role anyway. Hermanson is superb as the
boyish Tony There are some moments of
pure magic with the two sweethearts, like
in the song, “The Boy Friend ’’ Herman
son takes off his straw hat as they prepare
to start tapping, then charmingly shrugs
and raises his eyebrows as he hangs it on
a nail that mysteriously protrudes from the
side of they stage at just the right height.
Leslie, Thorstenson, Anderson and
Robert Fraser (as Tony's amorous father,
Lord Brockhurst) also turn in excellent
performances, and keep the play bubbling
along with humor and energy. The only
distracting character is Moyer s bumbling
Hortense. sort of a female Inspector Clou
seau who was intended to provide comic
relief Not even the other performers
seemed comfortable with the overplayed
character, and some of the humor was lost
because of it.
Graduate student Barbara Fraser dir
ected the production, and generally did a
fine job with the actors. However, she
emphasized the early musicals' acting
style, with corny lead-ins to songs,
humorous stock positions and overblown
female naivete that gave the whole show a
toungue-in-cheek flavor While some of
this was cute, the audience was given
massive doses of this emphasis for no
apparent reason.
Another problem was the technique of
breaking many of the songs into two parts
After the audience has applauded for a
few minutes, the performers latch into a
final verse as a sort of pre-planned mini
encore This is an old trick that would have
worked well with moderation, but was
used in three or four songs running After
a while, the audience starts feeling a little
manipulated, which hurts the performance
somewhat An age-old theatre standard is
to ‘leave the audience wanting more.” In
this case, the audience was given a little
more than it really wanted a few too many
times
Technically, the show was excellent
Judith Harrison s costumes were general
ly nicely loud without being too
flamboyant, especially during the final
costume ball scene Jerry William's
elaborate stage design and beautifully
simple scrim added greatly to the show.
Tom Prewitt’s lighting was also good, with
a nice footlight effect. Unfortunately, one
of the follow spots went dead during a
special dance sequence, “The Carnival
Tango," and marred the dance somewhat.
One problem with the layout of the
Robinson Theatre is that it has no orches
tra pit. Fraser attempted to solve the
problem by placing the 12-piece backup
band behind the backdrop. Unfortuantely,
this not only muffled the sound to a great
extent, but it also made visual commun
ication between the conductor and the
actors impossible, resulting in a Tew
missed cues and bad musical entrances.
Regardless, the show is a great suc
cess, and is much better than is normally
expected of a college troupe. The Univer
sity Theatre is to be congratulated for a job
very, very well done
(The University Theatre has added two
shows to its performance schedule after
earlier performances sold out. Tickets are
still available for performances May 28 and
29 at 8 p m.)
