'Boeing-Boeing' Final UK Flight Jan.5; US & Tour Planned

After 362 flights at the Comedy Theatre, Matthew Warchus' hilarious and critically acclaimed West End production of Boeing-Boeing is finally coming in to land on January 5, 2008 prior to boarding an international flight with stopovers on Broadway, New York, Australia and on tour in the UK.  Piloting into its twelfth month Boeing-Boeing will have checked in over 170,000 passengers during its London run.

"Bernard, a successful architect living in Paris, thought he could easily cope with his three air hostess fiancées.  It was all a question of timetables and his reliable, long-suffering housekeeper Bertha who reluctantly has the role of romantic air-traffic controller. When old school chum Robert arrives, Bernard relishes the chance to show his wide-eyed friend his first-class operation at work.  Unfortunately, schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced:  chaos ensues in this hysterical whirl of mayhem and matchmaking," explain press notes.

The cast is Kevin McNally, Jean Marsh, Neil Stuke, Jennifer Ellison, Tracy-Ann Oberman and Elena Roger.

Translated by Beverley Cross from Mark Camoletti's original, Matthew Warchus' production of Boeing-Boeing opened at the Comedy Theatre in February and is designed by Rob Howell, with lighting by Hugh Vanstone, original music by Claire van Kampen and sound by Simon Baker.  The curtain call is devised by Bruno Tonioli.  Boeing-Boeing is produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Act Productions, Matthew Byam Shaw, Robert G Bartner and Bob Boyett.
