Paper Mill Playhouse Presents "Boeing, Boeing"

Now through February 12th, 2012

Hilarious hijinx happening high in the sky in this retro comedy featured this month at the Paper Mill Playhouse. Marc Camoletti's tale (translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans, of Bernard, a 1960's playboy who manages to juggle engagements with three different flight attendants until a fast, new Boeing jet changes everything--something that can't be fixed with his airline timetables or with the help of his extremely efficient housekeeper. This classic farce is uproariously funny...not to be missed!!  For more information about show times and ticket prices, visit the Paper Mill Playhouse website at www.papermill.org.
