  Boeing Boeing at Minneapolis Theatre Garage

Boeing Boeing

Minneapolis Theatre Garage
711 West Franklin Avenue Minneapolis

It's 1960, and Parisian lothario Bernard has it good. His three fiancées -- one Italian, one German and one American -- are all beautiful airline hostesses with frequent (but never overlapping) layovers in Paris. And thanks to Bernard's faithful maid, who swaps out the photographs in his apartment according to schedule, the women will never find out about each other. That is until a new, faster Boeing jet throws the airline schedules out of whack and Bernard finds himself with all three women on his hands at once. Add Bernard's friend -- who's hilariously bad at keeping all the lies straight -- to the mix, and the whole plan is poised to fall apart. This slapstick farce from French playwright Marc Camoletti has been performed in London and on Broadway and was made into a 1965 film starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis -- now you can laugh along with this Torch Theater Company production at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage.

  Boeing Boeing Reviews

Star Tribune - Recommended

"...Hop on board at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage and land in Paris in the Swinging '60s. Meet Bernardo, a playboy who hosts his three fiancees in his upscale apartment. That's right - three fiancees, all airline hostesses (now called flight attendants) from different countries. Torch Theater has staged a rollicking production of Marc Camoletti's 1960 bedroom farce "Boeing Boeing.""

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended

"...Played out on Eli Schlatter's period-perfect set (check out the faux-Mondrian painting just visible as you walk into the theater) and aided by sound designer Katharine Horowitz's deep dive into music of the 1960s, "Boeing-Boeing" might never rise to the level of raucous. But it gains sufficient altitude to soar above the turbulence."
