In N.Y., Comedies Bursting the Seams
The Washington Post - July 8, 2008
By Peter Marks
The comeback phenomenon on Broadway this year doesn't involve a person, but a reflex.
Yes, laughter is back in vogue, so robustly that for the first time ever, Tony voters last month recognized an out-and-out farce as the best revival of a play. That show, "Boeing-Boeing," and its unlikely star -- a pricelessly clueless Mark Rylance -- are leading a completely unserious campaign in the theater district for the belly laughs and billfolds of the Broadway playgoer.

PLAYBILL ON OPENING NIGHT:
Boeing-Boeing—The Host with the Mostest Hostesses
Boeing-Boeing was the ding-dong that opened the doors of the landmark Longacre Theatre to $12 million of renovations May 4. Inside, over the next two hours, a lot of doors on stage opened and closed, the show being an aggressively old-fashioned, door-slamming sex-farce in two acts and three holding patterns.

BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Christine Baranski
Television comedy mainstay Christine Baranski has not been neglecting the theatre in recent years.
She did Sweeney Todd in Washington, DC, and Paul Rudnick's Regrets Only Off-Broadway. But the resuscitated 1960s French farce Boeing-Boeing — which recently opened to laudatory reviews — is her first turn on Broadway since 1991, when she played a part in the immortal flop musical Nick & Nora. And it's her first flat-out farce since Neil Simon's Rumors, one of two Broadway plays that won her a Tony Award. (The other was The Real Thing.) The show is about Bernard, a bachelor who's stringing along three different "air hostesses," each on a different flight schedule. Baranski is the jaded French maid, Berthe, the only woman on Bernard's premises who knows the rules of the game. Most actresses start out their careers playing the maid, but Baranski seems quite content to spend the prime of her career cleaning house.

Bradley Whitford and Co. Soar at
Boeing-Boeing's Opening
Yeah, baby! The cast of Broadway's new sexy comedy, Boeing-Boeing, got groovy on May 4 at Nikki Beach in Midtown at the show's opening night party. All kinds of celebs—Jane Kaczmarek, Howard Stern, Meryl Streep and Mischa Barton, to name a few—came out to celebrate the take-off of this French farce. In the show, an architect living in Paris (played by Bradley Whitford) has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées with his housekeeper (Christine Baranski) reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller. But when the swinging bachelor gets a visit from an old pal (Mark Rylance), things get rather silly—schedules change, flights are delayed and hilarity ensues. Don't delay!
