The Smile-High Club Comes to Vive Les Arts with “BOEING BOEING” by Marc Camoletti
It is the Swinging Sixties and successful bachelor Bernard is even more successful with the ladies. In fact, he juggles the hearts of three air hostesses. Bouncing from one beautiful stewardess to another, keeping one up, one down and one pending. Love is in the air, but fasten your seatbelts because in this 2008 Tony Award winner, bliss is about to go into a comedic tailspin!
