Don’t Dress for Dinner to Receive Broadway Premiere at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre

The Roundabout Theatre Company will present the Broadway premiere of Marc Camoletti’s classic farce Don’t Dress For Dinner, adapted by Robin Hawdon, at the American Airlines Theatre, March 30-June 17, 2012, with an opening set for April 26. John Tillinger will direct.

In this sequel to the Broadway hit Boeing-Boeing, Bernard’s plans for a romantic rendezvous with his mistress are complete with a gourmet caterer and an alibi courtesy of his friend, Robert. But when Bernard’s wife learns that Robert will be visiting for the weekend, she decides to stay in town for a surprise tryst of her own… setting the stage for a collision course of hidden identities and outrageous infidelities.

The design team will feature John Lee Beatty (sets), Jess Goldstein (costumes), and Ken Billington (lights).

Camoletti’s play opened in Paris in 1987, under the original title Pajamas Pour Six. Hawdon’s adaptation of the original French play premiered in London at the Apollo Theatre in 1991 and ran for six years.
