According to Surflight, "Sandy Wilson's 1954 musical comedy, The Boy Friend, is a recipe for gleeful romance: Take a rich young girl, a poor boy who's employed as a messenger, a group of happy flappers, some well-intentioned adults. Mix carefully with a new romance and a re-kindled one. Add 'jazzy' music. Put dreams in the lyrics ('I Could Be Happy with You') along with exuberance and joy in the dances ('Won't You Charleston with Me?'). Shake well, and you have Sandy Wilson's skillfully inventive spoof of 1920s musicals."
Other members of the creative team include Erik Harriz (sets), Anna Hilberry (costume), Benjamin Weill (lighting), Mark Keller (sound) and Harold Goldfaden (production stage manager).
