Boeing-Boeing won 2008 Tony Awards for Best Play Revival and Best Actor (Mark Rylance) and Drama Desk Awards for Best Play Revival and Best Actor (Rylance).  The show received four additional Tony nominations.

In Boeing-Boeing, an architect living in Paris (Germann) has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées (Gershon, Hahn and Pyle) with his housekeeper (Baranski) reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad.  But when an old school pal (Rylance) visits, things get rather turbulent.  Schedules change, flights are delayed and chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking.
