The Boy Friend (musical)
''The Boy Friend'' (sometimes misrepresented ''The Boyfriend'') is a musical by Sandy Wilson. Its original 1954 London production ran for 2,078 performances, briefly making it the third-longest running musical in West End or Broadway history (after ''Chu Chin Chow'' and ''Oklahoma!'') until they were all surpassed by ''Salad Days''.
