Northern Stage’s Boeing-Boeing Opens 11/2

A swinging 1960s Paris bachelor juggles romances with three stewardesses whose schedules mean they'll never be in town at the same time. But when their schedules change, he has to think fast. The result is comic madness.

Boeing-Boeing, the most popular French farce ever, runs live on stage at Northern Stage from November 2 through November 20, six days per week. For tickets and information, call 802-296-7000 or visit www.northernstage.org.

As Northern Stage's 15th Anniversary Season continues, the company hand-picked some of the top comic actors from New York who have performed here over the years for this raucous comedy. Thom Miller plays the bachelor with aplomb, Scott Cote is the perfect comic foil as his friend Robert, and comedienne and Broadway veteran Kathryn Markey monitors the madness as the sardonic maid. The three stewardesses-one German, one Italian and one American-include Kathryn Merry, fresh from a standout comic performance in The 39 Steps; Concetta Rose Rella from the National Tour of Tony and Tina's Wedding; and Amanda Ryan Paige, who has honed her exquisite comic timing in national tours and regional theaters throughout the Northeast. Director Catherine Doherty corrals this lively troupe, sharpening the comedy and adding some eye-popping surprises.

Boeing-Boeing runs live on stage at the Briggs Opera House in White River Junction from November 2 - 20, 2011. Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 5:00 p.m., except for the Opening Night performance on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:00 p.m., with 2:00 p.m. matinees on Saturday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 10. For tickets and information, call 802-296-7000. Tickets are also available through the Northern Stage website, www.northernstage.org.
