The Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Boeing-Boeing, Marc Camoletti’s classic sixties comedy of errors, directed by Matthew Warchus, will close on January 4. At that time, it will have played 17 previews and 280 regular performances.

The play focuses on an architect living in Paris who has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées with his housekeeper reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller. But when an old school pal visits, things get rather turbulent.

The show currently stars Christine Baranski, 2008 Tony Award winner Mark Rylance, Greg Germann, Paige Davis, Rebecca Gayheart, and Missi Pyle. It features set and costume design by Rob Howell, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, original music by Claire Van Kampen, and sound by Simon Baker.

The play will launch a 45-week national tour in Fall 2009. Casting and tour cities will be announced at a later date.
