Boeing Boeing in May – Tickets on Sale!
Coming up in May is our production of the comedy “Boeing Boeing” by Marc Camoletti. Translated by Beverley Cross & Francis Evans, presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
This Tony award-winning comedy has been called “a high-style, knee-slapping romp” through the age of glamorous jet-setting air travel and revolves around vintage 1960s playboy Bernard, an American living in Paris, who juggles romances with three gorgeous “air hostesses” with the help of his long-suffering housekeeper, Berthe.
“Boeing-Boeing” premiered in Paris in 1960, where it ran for 19 years and was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most performed French play throughout the world. The play was made into a movie starring Tony Curtis and Jerrry Lewis, and the 2008 revival became a multiple Tony-award smash Broadway hit.
“The latest edition of the play, named for an aircraft, soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy,” says a New York Times review of the Broadway rendition.
The cast features new faces as well as Theater League alumni, including Louis Balsamo of Montclair, John Fraissinet of Nutley, Susan McDonald and Kodi Milde of Clifton, Danielle Petrucelli of West Orange, and Karol Scott of Lyndhurst.
Directed by Kathleen Kellaigh, produced by Maryann Irizarry, with Stage manager Tara Freifeld.
Show Dates are May 10-12 & May 17-19 at the Aprea Theater at the The Learning Center in Clifton. Friday & Saturday 8pm, Sunday 2pm.
Non-member tickets are $20/adults and $15/students & seniors. Tickets and seat selection can be made online or by calling our Box Office at (973) 928-7668. Checks can be mailed attention Theater League of Clifton, PO Box 4072 Clifton, NJ 07012, please include the show date & time.
