Synopsis

“This latest edition of a play named for an aircraft soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy.”

– The New York Times

Press Reviews

"Soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy. Propelled by the same gusty spirit that animated Commedia dell'Arte and the silent films of Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd, [Boeing Boeing] may be earthy, but it's seldom earthbound."

— The New York Times

"This is, by many an air mile, the funniest show on the London stage."

— Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph

"I cannot remember experiencing a West End evening of such sheer, silly, comic pleasure."

— Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard
