The Boy Friend, which is set in Madame Dubonnet's finishing school in the south of France, opened in London in 1953, before a West End run in 1954, and ran for more than five years. The subsequent 1954 Broadway run made a star of Julie Andrews.

White returns to the Menier having previously directed She Loves Me, Candide, Sweet Charity (also Haymarket Theatre), Little Shop of Horrors (also Duke of York’s Theatre), and The Last Five Years for the company.

Tickets are now available for supporters of the Menier. Public booking begins September 9.
