Winner! 2008 Tony Award, Best Revival of a Play
It’s the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier -- a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay, and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously, Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and catastrophe looms.
"This latest edition of a play named for an aircraft soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy. Propelled by the same gusty spirit that animated Commedia dell'Arte and the silent films of Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd, {this} may be earthy, but it's seldom earthbound." -- The New York Times
"Boeing Boeing" is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
