This production of Boeing-Boeing
was hailed as wholly reinventing the play when it opened to ecstatic
reviews at London's Comedy Theatre in February 2007. The London
production of Boeing-Boeing
received Olivier Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actor in a
Play (Mark Rylance) and an Evening Standard Award nomination for
Rylance."In Boeing-Boeing,
an architect living in Paris (Whitford) has been successfully juggling
three flight attendant fiancées (Gershon, Hahn and McCormack) 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," describe press notes.Boeing-Boeing

music by Claire van Kampen, sound by Simon Baker, curtain call by Kathleen Marshall, translation by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans and is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions/Bob Boyett, ACT Productions/Matthew Byam Shaw, Robert G. Bartner, The Weinstein Company and The Araca Group.
