“ BOEING BOEING ” Now Boarding , Arriving January 25 at Onstage, Greenbelt

Press Release:

Fasten your seat belts as Repertory Philippines presents its 76th theater season with the opening salvo of BOEING BOEING, the classic '60s sex comedy hit of errors that won the 2008 Tony Awards and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Play Revival.

David Bianco

A comedy about "an architect living in Paris who has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées while his housekeeper reluctantly plays romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. When an old school pal visits, things get rather turbulent. Schedules change, flights are delayed and chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking."

David Bianco will essay the role of Mr. Bernard Whitford, an American architect businessman living in Paris ---  a swinging bachelor. He is a combination of Don Draper and Jack Tripper. A playboy who juggles love affairs with three air hostesses who touch down briefly but lovingly in his apartment between flights.

Topper Fabregas

Topper Fabregas will play the role of the unworldly Robert, Bernard’s boyhood friend, newly arrived from Wisconsin. 

Bringing to mind fantasy drawings from a vintage Esquire or  Playboy for a portfolio of international dream girls are the three fiancées: Giannina Ocampo as  Gabriella, the sentimental, lusty Italian stewardess. Carla Dunareanu as Gretchen, the hilarious, aggressive, dominating but thin-skinned German stewardess. Jen Bianco as Gloria, the Southern belle with upbeat disposition take-charge health-obsessed American stewardess.

Baby Barredo will play the role of Bertha, Bernard's long-suffering housekeeper who is a chic, black-clad philosopher. A French existentialist maid who loves nothing more than to complain. Ms. Joy Virata is alternate.
