Boeing Boeing

I was invited to attend the media night for Boeing Boeing which is the opening salvo of Repertory Philippines for this years season. I honestly did not know what to expect since I didn't have a clear picture of what the story was about. Upon getting inside the theater, I saw a stage set up like a living room and my interest was peaked. When I saw the 3 air hostesses, 2 male characters, and the maid, I knew that I was in for a treat.

with 2 of the leading ladies ... aren't they gorgeous?
You see, you could easily feel the banter between the actors and how they were very much in character. You could also feel the energy flying around the theater and that has always been a good sign that it was gonna be a fabulous show.

I was not mistaken.

The audience laughed the night away and we're not talking about small snickers or giggles. This was a slap your thigh, bellow, laugh out loud moments. It was the kind of laughter that was contagious and all over the theater, you could just hear people howling in laughter and panicking along with Bernard as he tries his best to ensure that all 3 of his fiancees would not see each other inside the apartment. You could also hear people sympathizing with Robert as he tries not to sound frazzled and dazzled when faced with Bernard's gorgeous fiancees as he tries to cover up his friends while stopping himself from falling madly in love with them.

Boeing Boeing is a play that men could relate to and women would love to watch as it tackles love, deceit, manipulation, lust, and everything in between. You will have moments where you'd say, "Hey! I've been in that situation." and moments where you'd say, "Oh God, I hope I'd never be in that situation!"

Boeing Boeing is one of the funniest and sexiest evenings you will ever spend in a theatre.

  2. I can only wish I can be there for a showing. I'm all the way in NYC. Jen & David are very close friends of mine. The photos are awesome, and I can only imagine the performance they portrayed along with the other actors. May the show continue for a long time. One love, Ronnie.
