"DO DO" see THE BOY FRIEND

Campy, classic musical theatre. Boy meets girl...fall in love in 2.2 seconds. But, boy is in disguise as a poor boy when in fact he is a rich fella looking for someone to capture his heart...not his money. And...surprise...the girl just happens to be rich herself. Shakespeare it is not...nor does it try to be.
Act1's cast, comprised mostly of young up and coming performers, leaves you with a smile on your face, even when a dated script cannot.
Victoria Coe is a stunning beauty as Polly Browne. This young actress has great potential and a face made for the movies.
Brian Webber dances effortlessly as Tony and Stacey Serowitz glides across the stage as Maisie.
Comedy standout Sarah McClure brings life to Sandy Wilson's material as Hortense and Matthew McClure (related?) beams and makes the small ensemble role of Marcel take the spotlight more than once with a huge smile and strong voice. These two alone are worth the trip to Alpharetta.
Tongue-in-cheek and light hearted. Check it out for carefree entertainment.
EDIT: Another one!

"The Boy Friend" will not have you on the edge of your seat and hanging on every word. "The Boy Friend" will have you relaxing and enjoying the efforts of a very good cast. The voices are very good but the dancing is wonderful. I am a expert at knowing how NOT to dance and that makes me a expert at watching and enjoying talented people doing what I never could. This is not high drama it is what it is meant to be, a evening of good clean healthy fun for the entire family. Remove the kids from in front of the TV or their video games and have a family treat at ACT1,hurry it won't last forever.
