Wilson was the creator of a popular West End musical, The Boy Friend, a pastiche of the musical comedies of the 1920s. Cy Feuer planned to bring the show to Broadway and wanted to recruit a British cast to preserve the flavor of the London production. When Feuer and his partner, Ernest Martin, offered Julie Andrews the lead in the Broadway production of The Boy Friend, she was reluctant to travel to America. She was only 18 and had never traveled so far from her family. She finally agreed to a one-year contract, and boarded the plane for the country where she would spend most of her life. Julie Andrews won universal praise for her incandescent performance. The original cast recording became a best-seller, one of the most successful releases in the history of Columbia Records. It remained a mainstay of the label’s catalogue for many years.

The Boy Friend, Sandy Wilson's 1950s musical that pretended to be a 1920s musical, pretty much succeeded at that pretense, enjoying a five-year run in London and nearly 500 performances on Broadway the first time around, leading to other international productions and frequent revivals. The first Broadway revival occurred on April 14, 1970, and proved disappointing, with a run of only 111 performances

Sandy Wilson, the author, composer and lyricist whose winsome, nostalgic and tuneful pastiche of 1920s musicals, The Boy Friend, made a stage star of Julie Andrews and later a movie star of the model Twiggy, died Aug. 27 in Taunton, England. He was 90. His agent, Nick Quinn, confirmed the death but did not disclose the cause. The success of The Boy Friend made Mr. Wilson the rage of theater circles in London and New York. He was dubbed the next Bright Young Thing, and he won comparisons to his idol, the wasp-witted playwright and entertainer Noel Coward. But as was pointed out by the theater critic Kenneth Tynan, a classmate from the University of Oxford in the 1940s, it was plain even in the revues he wrote at Oxford that Wilson’s talent was not for the bold whiplash wit of the enfant terrible. His personality, tidy and fastidious, was reflected in the restraint and delicacy of his work.
