 The Alley Theatre presents Boeing-Boeing, A Non-Stop Comedy By Marc Camoletti  is the final production of the Alley Theatre's 2009-2010 season. Translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. Directed by Lisa Spirling. Production overseen and originally directed by Matthew Warchus. Previews start June 4, 2010; Opens June 9, 2010; Ends June 27, 2010. On the Hubbard Stage.

Boeing-Boeing, the high-flying, Tony award-winning comedy that had London and Broadway audiences airborne with laughter, is taking off on the Alley’s Hubbard Stage.

Bernard, a successful American architect living in a posh Paris apartment, has been deftly juggling three fiancées who are all flight attendants. It's easy, with good timing and a bit of assistance from his reluctant housekeeper who plays romantic air-traffic controller. But, this supersonic lifestyle hits turbulence when his old college friend visits and each of his three fiancées change their flight schedule. Fasten your seat belt for a roaring ride that will take you up, up and away.

Boeing-Boeing is called “the funniest play to hit Broadway in ages” (Wall Street Journal), “pure pleasure and unconditional bliss” (New York Times). Fasten your seat belt for a roaring ride that will take you up, up and away.

Artists Jeffrey Bean as Robert, James Black as Bernard, Elizabeth Bunch as Gabriella, Josie de Guzman as Berthe, Emily Neves as Gloria and Melissa Pritchett as Gretchen.

Recommended for adults and children ages twelve and older.
