Orlando, FL – Valencia College Theater will present “Boeing Boeing,” the hilarious1960s classic farce about a bachelor juggling three romantic relationships.
The play opens on April 5 and will run for seven performances in Valencia College’s Black Box Theater.
Originally staged in 1960, and turned into a film starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis in 1965, “Boeing Boeing” was revived in London in 2007 and on Broadway in 2008 – and delighted both critics and audiences. The 2008 Broadway production won both a Tony and a Drama Desk award for the best revival of a play.
The play centers on bachelor Bernard, an American businessman living in Paris who is engaged to three “air hostesses” – one from America, one from Italy, and one from Germany – none of whom knows about the others.
Bernard’s life hits some turbulence when his friend Robert comes to stay, and complications such as weather and a new, speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning. Soon, all three fiancées land in the city simultaneously and rollicking mayhem ensues.
Valencia’s Black Box Theater is located in Building 3 on Valencia’s East Campus, 701 N. Econlockhatchee Trail, Orlando. Tickets are $10 for Valencia students, staff and senior citizens and $15 for the public. Tickets may be purchased online at https://ticketpeak.co/valenciacollege/events or by calling the box office at 407-582-2900.
Originally written by Marc Camoletti, the play has been translated into English by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. “Boeing Boeing” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
