Repertory Philippines welcomes 2013 and their 76th theater season by flying in
the laughs with Boeing Boeing, a
comedy set in the 60’s about a playboy juggling three fiancées at the same time.
This award winning play (2008 Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for Best Play
Revival) will open this January 25,
2013 and will run up to February
17, 2013 at Onstage located in Greenbelt 1.
David
Bianco who was last seen in Next Fall
leads the cast as the playboy Bernard Whitford, an architect residing in Paris
where he juggles his three fiancées who are all air hostesses. Giannina Ocampo
(Gabriella from Italy ),
Carla Dunareanu (Gretchen from Germany )
and Jennifer Blair-Bianco (Gloria from USA )
portray the three air hostesses shuttling in and out of Bernard’s Parisian
apartment completely unaware of each other’s existence. All goes well until the
introduction of the Boeing aircraft, making air travel faster and throwing off
Bernard’s supposed to be well crafted plan into disarray. Also included in the
play is Topper Fabregas as Robert, Bernard’s childhood friend.
