Featuring Brian J. Gill, Marcella Kearns, Ryan Schabach,
Amber Smith, Samantha Sostarich and Anne
Walaszek
Swinging bachelor Bernard is living the high life in Paris,
bouncing from one beautiful stewardess to another. But all his
careful planning goes out the window when an old school chum from
Wisconsin and all three "fiancées" arrive in town simultaneously.
Fasten your seat belts and keep your seats in the upright position,
because we're about to experience some major turbulence!
This new version of the 1960s French farce won the 2008 Tony
Award for Best Revival.
