WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Christine Baranski and Mark Rylance star in the Broadway production of Boeing-Boeing, Marc Camoletti's classic sixties comedy of errors opening at Broadway's Longacre Theatre. Matthew Warchus directs.
In the play, an architect living in Paris has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées with his housekeeper reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. But when an old school pal visits, things get rather turbulent. The London production received two 2008 Oliver Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actor in a Play for Rylance.

Great show
What a great night of fun. I can not say enough about how good the show was. So funny, I laughed the whole show. Mark Rylance is the ultimate actor. Go see it for sure.

Imagine going into a kitchen, gathering together no ingredients whatsoever and from that vacuum producing a perfect soufflé. In a manner of speaking, that's what director Matthew Warchus and a cast of six expert comic actors have achieved with
Boeing-Boeing, Marc Camoletti's boulevard farce that stuck around for only 23 performances when it was first done here in 1965. This time, the side-splitting treat should keep laughter-seeking audiences besides themselves with glee for at least 230 performances -- and maybe even 2,300.
The altogether inane and utterly predictable set-up is that womanizing Bernard (Bradley Whitford), a Parisian architect, juggles the affections of three[...]
