Somewhere along the way, Boeing Boeing lost its hyphen, but never lost a distinctly French, laissez-faire attitude toward sex and romance. Zach Holstine plays Bernard, in this version an American in Paris, who's happy to provide temporary lodgings for a visiting Wisconsin friend, Robert (Ken Luce). Robert is stunned by the beauty of Bernard's fiancée, Gloria (Michaela Hickey), a flight attendant for Pan Am. Then, a short time later, he's equally stunned by the beauty of Bernard's second fiancée, an Alitalia stewardess named Gabriella (Maisha Gannie). That's just Act I of a fully three-act farce, complete with the requisite slamming doors, lingerie, and mistaken identities engendering ill-advised smooches.
