Theater | Boeing Boeing (Comedy) "A kind of delirium" The Guardian (UK) |
Return to the Mad Men era of martinis and mayhem in this classic bedroom farce. It's the 1960's and an American living in Paris finds himself juggling three fiancees, all air hostesses with busy international routes who know nothing about each other. Worlds collide and the comedy heats up when the flight schedules change and all three women wind up in his apartment at the same time. |
Totem Pole Playhouse
9555 Golf Course Road |
717-352-2164 |
The play has been in near continual
production for almost 40 years all over the world, including very recent West
End and Broadway revivals that garnered the Olivier and Tony awards for Best
Revival of a Play. "The breakneck pacing, the agonizing, close-call timing of all the comings and goings, the excalating outrageousness...make it impossible not to be swept aong." - Variety "Soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy." "Deliciously, deliriously innocent." - The New York times |
