In the play, an architect living in Paris (Whitford) has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées 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. The London production received two 2008 Oliver Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actor in a Play for Rylance.
The production will feature set and costume design by Rob Howell, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, original music by Claire Van Kampen, and sound by Simon Baker.

She will also star in the upcoming film adaptation of Mamma Mia! Rylance is currently starring in the Guthrie’s production of Peer Gynt. He served as artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre for 10 years where he acted in numerous productions. He won an Olivier Award for Much Ado about Nothing, and a BAFTA Award for the TV production of The Government Inspector. Whitford previously appeared on Broadway in A Few Good Men, and won an Emmy Award and shared two SAG Awards for his work in The West Wing. He most recently starred in Aaron Sorkin’s TV series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
