Photo Flash: BOEING-BOEING Celebrates Opening at Drury Lane Theatre

By:

Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, presents the Tony Award-winning 2008 Broadway revival version of the hit comedy BOEING-BOEING, opening Thursday, June 20 at 8 p.m. and running through August 4, 2013. Scroll down for photos from the cast and creative team on opening night!

BOEING-BOEING stars Saturday Night Live alum Nora Dunn as "Berthe" (Dunn was Meryl Streep's co-star in the Nancy Meyers film It's Complicated; her TV credits include Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Private Practice, Psych and Franklin & Bash; and she recently starred in Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron's play Love, Loss and What I Wore at the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago). The cast also features Jeff Award winner Stef Tovar as "Bernard" (Ragtime and Sugar at Drury Lane Theatre, South Pacific at Marriott Theatre, A Twist of Water at Mercury Theater Chicago, and the Steven Soderbergh film Contagion); Daniel Cantor as "Robert" (National Tour of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Fish Men and Rabbit Hole at Goodman Theatre, and The Comedy of Errors at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre); Jeff Award nominee Dina DiCostanzo as "Gabriella" (Hairspray at Drury Lane Theatre and My One and Only at Marriott Theatre); Jeff Award nominee Katherine Keberlein as "Gretchen" (Fifty Words at Profiles Theatre) and Kara Zediker as "Gloria" (A Summer Remembered at Steppenwolf Theater, the Steven Soderbergh film Contagion, and the John Hughes film Uncle Buck). Dennis Zacek (former Artistic Director at Victory Gardens Theater and recipient of the 2001 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre) will direct the production.

Set in Paris in the 1960's, this comedy follows the flighty tale of Bernard, a jet-setting architect who is juggling three flight attendant fiancées with the help of his reluctant housekeeper. When his old pal, Robert, arrives at his swanky bachelor pad, Bernard proudly unveils his ingenious scheme. Despite his clever arrangement, Bernard's life starts to unravel when a new turbo-charged Boeing is introduced. In a hysterical whirlwind of mayhem, Bernard finds out that one woman is all he can handle.
