Boeing-Boeing has won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play!

  Boeing-Boeing opened on May 4th, at the Longacre Theatre.  Boeing- Boeing stars Christine Baranski, Mark Rylance, Bradley Whitford, Gina Gershon, Mary McCormack, and Kathryn Hahn in the Broadway production of the London smash Boeing-Boeing, Marc Camoletti's classic sixties comedy of errors directed by Matthew Warchus.

This production of Boeing-Boeing was hailed as wholly reinventing the play when it opened to ecstatic reviews at London's Comedy Theatre in February 2007. The London production of Boeing-Boeing received Olivier Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actor in a Play (Mark Rylance) and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Rylance.

"In Boeing-Boeing, an architect living in Paris (Whitford) has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées (Gershon, Hahn and McCormack) with his housekeeper (Baranski) reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. But when an old school pal (Rylance) visits, things get rather turbulent. Schedules change, flights are delayed and chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking," describe press notes.

Boeing-Boeing features a design by Rob Howell, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, original music by Claire Van Kampen, sound by Simon Baker, curtain call by Kathleen Marshall, translation by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans and is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions/Bob Boyett, Act Productions/Matthew Byam Shaw, Robert G. Bartner, The Weinstein Company and The Araca Group.
