W!LD RICE's 'Boeing Boeing' Flies to Victoria Theatre
By Freddy / 29 Mar 2017 (Wednesday)
After playing three times in Singapore, W!LD RICE’s ‘Boeing Boeing’ will entertain the audience at Victoria Theatre from 23 June 2017. This brand new production will be directed by Pam Oei, who was part of the casts of both the 2002 and 2005 productions.
The play first opened at Raffles Hotel’s Jubilee Hall in 2002. Since then, it has been re-staged twice – in 2005 at the Victoria Theatre and in 2010 at the Drama Centre Theatre. All three productions were sold out.
The script is originally written in French by Marc Camoletti. The English language adaptation was translated by Beverley Cross and was first staged in London in 1962. Its 2008 Broadway Revival was nominated for 6 Tony Awards, winning two for Best Revival of a Play and Best Leading Actor.
