Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, this hilarious show tells the story of English heiress, Polly, who is longing for only one thing: a boyfriend. But Polly’s father is not having it. He is convinced the any boy who isn’t wealthy will court Polly strictly for her financial fortune and he forbids her to engage any potential suitors. Honoring his wishes, Polly explains to her love interest that she is not rich at all. Polly’s lie begins a downward spiral of mistaken identity, but will love somehow find its way through? This classic musical, filled with delightful humor and many memorable songs, proves to be a favorite for audiences of all ages.
