Marc Camoletti’s Boeing, Boeing, the current production by Town Players of Newtown, is listed as the most performed French play in the Guinness book of world records. There is good reason. It is the quintessential farce, a comedy that seeks to entertain through a plot that is highly exaggerated, improbable and absurd. Boeing is just that.

Perennial bachelor Bernard (played by Phil Lorenzo), has the perfect life in 1960s Paris. A beautiful apartment, his maid Berthe (Lisbet Thiel), and three flight attendant girlfriends who know nothing about one another. He has meticulously scheduled visits with each of them based on their flight schedules, so that they never meet each other.

Perfect, right? What fun would it be to watch everything go smoothly? The arrival of Bernard’s longtime friend Robert (Gus Bottazzi) and flight delays send Bernard’ plans into a tailspin. As Berthe puts it at the end of Act One, “Drink up, we’re in for a bumpy night.” Timing and staging in a farce is key.

Director Terry Sagedy has set the scene for some door slamming fun. His skillful use of a relatively simple apartment set-up leaves the audience laughing at even simple entrances and exits.

Berthe is played with delightful disgust by Liesbet Thiel. Berthe keeps everything in order for Robert on most days, but today is a day just above her paid grade. In a play where many of the characters can become over the top cartoons, Thiel brings a groundedness to not only Berthe, but the play itself.

Lorenzo brings the charm as Bernard. The audience understands why all the other characters are so drawn to him.

Botazzi brings an enjoyable befuddlement to his characterization of Robert, making for amusing misunderstandings with Bernard’s three girlfriends. Lorenzo and Botazzi play off each other effortlessly and have the audience rooting for them, even in situations where they shouldn’t be.

The three girlfriends each represent a different international airline. Gloria (“The American,” played by Emily Robertson-Dos Santos) represents TWA. Her brash New York attitude and forwardness prove to be a little too much for both Robert and Bernard to handle. Robertson-Dos Santos does a great job with Gloria, showing she is a fiercely independent with delightful vigor.

Gabriella (“the Italian,” played by Patricia White) represents Air Italia. White’s energy and no nonsense portrayal of Gabriella is a joy to watch. She perfectly balances va-va-voom and no nonsense.

The audience got an extra treat at last Saturday’s performance, when something unplanned happened and White not only rolled with it, but played it for even more laughs.

The final girlfriend to arrive is Gretchen (“The German,” brought to life by Emily Ramsey), who arrives via Lufthansa, like a hurricane to boundless laughs. Ramsey’s chemistry with Bottazzi is palpable and provides for some of the show’s best moments.

Costume design by Rebecca Cebellero is spot on. The audience is immediately transported back to the mid 1960s through each character’s attire.

Nick Kaye has also provided pitch perfect set, light and sound design. The audience especially enjoyed the pre-show and intermission playlist of 60s French pop.

There are just two more chances to catch a flight on this Boeing Boeing. Join the flight crew for some laughs.
