One of the funniest plays I’ve seen in a long long time. Boeing Boeing tells the story of Bernard and the juggling of his three air-hostess fiancees. It all depends on The Timetable. An old friend of Bernard turns up and just as he is espousing the beauties of his system it all starts to unravel when bad weather, schedule changes and technology and chaos soon ensues.
A lot of the comedy is purely from timing and the brilliant cast. The men were good but I think it was the ladies that really delivered with the dry tones of Bernard’s housekeeper played by Frances de la Tour and then by the over the top antics of the American, Italian and German air hostesses played by Tamzin Outhwaite, Daisy Beaumont and Michelle Gomez (Judith). All three girls were charming in their own way and totally adorable in their love for Bernard.
Actually some of the funniest moments came from the audience from laughing at the wrong and weird moments, to the weird and loud laughter being brayed out. My brother and I were p!ssing ourselves.
The play is witty and very well written with emphasis on the over the top characters. The cast certainly delivered. It probably didn’t hurt that the three actresses who played the air-hostess fiancĂ©es were super hot. The pins on these girls seemed to go on forever.
I had a great time tonight and I would recommend this show to all. And by the way, there is a lot of snogging in this show so you are warned!
