If there’s one
theatrical genre at which Spotlight Theatre has succeeded multiple times, it’s
farce.
Spotlight’s
production of Marc Camoletti’s “Boeing Boeing,” now on view at The John Hand
Theater on Lowry , is one of the funniest they’ve done. It will leave you breathless with laughter.
Co-directed by Luke Allen Terry and Katie Mangett, the
casting is amazing and the pace frenetic.
Joe Von Bokern is
Bernard, a self proclaimed Lothario with a pad in Paris where three girl
friends who just happen to be airline stewardesses enjoy the occasional lay-over!

Todd Black is
fantastic as Bertrand, the harried butler of the piece. Black’s character has
the job of keeping ‘le plat du jour’ lasagna on Italiana day and Weiner
schnitzel on Deutsche! Zees poor Franch butler is up to heez eyeballs in
schedule complications and menu rearrangement. A very funny performance
indeed!
Left to right: Nicole Campbell, Kelly Alayne Dwyer and Bethany Lillis
Nicole Campbell
is Gretchen, Bernard’s German girl friend. Bethany Lillis is Gloria, his American
amour. Kelly Alayne Dwyer is Gabriella, his Italian.
All three of
these gorgeous women chew up the scenery so joyously you’ll want to shout “Bon appetit!”
Bernie Cardell plays Robert, a good friend
of Bernard who gets sucked into the melee by stopping by to say “hi” and winds
up ogling and salivating over every one of his friend’s sexy ‘guests.”
Cardell has also done the eye-pleasing set
design for Bernard’s Parisian apartment near Orly.
The excellent sound Design is by co-director Luke Allen
Terry
The costumes by Rosemary Smith are Wowzers!
It would be tragic if you didn’t get over there and see this
very funny comedy.
(This show runs in repertory with “Don’t Dress For Dinner.)
