La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts (La Mirada, CA)
The popular English version of playwright Marc Camoletti’s classic 1960s French farce, Boeing Boeing, jets into La Mirada. This high-flying, sexy comedy follows a French architect named Bernard, who is secretly engaged to three different flight attendants. He successfully juggles them by keeping “one up, one down and one pending” — that is, until the new, faster Boeing jet goes into service. Then his fiancées’ schedules get jumbled, and things quickly turn turbulent for Bernard when all three of them descend on his Paris apartment simultaneously. The farcical comedy held the world record for being the longest-running comedy in London’s West End. The 1965 film version starred Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis, and the 2008 Tony-winning revival featured Bradley Whitford, Mark Rylance, Christine Baranski, Gina Gershon and Mary McCormack.
