Sixty-five years on from the original (at the time record-breaking) run in the West End of Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend, the show's appeal shows no sign of diminishing. We went to see a production at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in 2006, and now it's back - in a new revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory!
What better way to cheer us up this Tacky Music Monday - after a murky weekend, and with the prospect of a dismal week in work to come - than with one of the show's jolliest numbers...
...with puppets?!
"Whack-a-doo, Whack-a-doo, Whack-a-doo!" Indeed.
Have a great week, peeps!
I believe your Monday rain has made it up here now. Fortunately, it's too late to ruin my Monday now (last day of hols before going back to work tomorrow)!
ReplyDeleteStill, it's almost over now. Only four days until the weekend! Whack-a-doo!
Too many "now"s...

PS The last day of a holiday is always the absolute worst...
Oh! The Boyfriend! Wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the rain - it is very soggy in Devon...now.
