When Boeing Boeing took off to a roar of laughter in London’s West End in 2007, the Daily Telegraph called it “the funniest show in London”. Directed by Olivier Award winner Matthew Warchus, this hysterical production has since taken Broadway by storm. Audiences and critics have been unbuckling their seatbelts and rolling in the aisles for this first-class Tony Award winning comedy (Best Revival 2008).
Bernard, a successful architect living in Paris, thinks he can easily cope with his three air-hostess fiancees. It’s all a question of timetables and a reliable, long-suffering housekeeper who reluctantly plays the role of a romantic air-traffic controller. But when his long lost cousin Robert arrives, things start to get turbulent! Schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced: chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking.
Boeing Boeing stars Martin Marquez (Hotel Babylon, Dirty Tricks, EastEnders), Suzie Blake (Coronation Street, The Victoria Wood Show and Noises Off at the National Theatre), John Marquez (Hotel Babylon, EastEnders, Doc Martin), Sarah Jayne Dunn (Mandy in Hollyoaks, Drop Dead Gorgeous), Thaila Zucchi (Skins, Love Soup) and Josephine Butler (No Heroics, Sorted).

I saw Boeing Boeing last night having listened to the Budget during the day. What a relief it was to be at the Rep and laugh 'til my face ached....it was just brilliant. This was a joy from start to finish...a wonderful farce...don't miss it!
Margaret from Bournville
Boeing Boeing, wonderful farce. Fantastic cast,especially Susie Blake, timing was superb, very funny. Loved the German accent just brilliant. Sixteen of us went and thoroughly enjoyed it. We thought the dance at the end was a wonderful finale. recommend to everyone.
Deb Tyrer from Kenilworth
This is an amazing show, a huge must see. Well done to all the cast my best star was Sarah Jayne who played Mandy from Hollyoaks she was amazing. Although the whole show came together by the amazing colour uniformes and an outstanding performance by Suzie Blake a maide with a bit more life in her (not) this show is far the best. This is my first time experencing a show live on a stage and the audience response and my amazing laughter! ~And i loved it so much i stayed for the question time after Your all super stars
Andrew Morris from Madeley,Telford
Seen the show this evening could not think of anything better to see on a friday night could not stop laughing. great cast.
Irene from Birmingham
What a great show, cleverly updated with a super retro feel, simple but highly effective set and great outfits for the girls. The cast proved that farce is alive and kicking and not just for oldies! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the cast were brillant, timing bang on and a great tonic to the doom and gloom flying around at the moment.

I was fortunate to see this as a birthday treat from and with my friends. We laughed loudly at this colourful (in both set and context)comedy.
The humour arrived via a number of cleverly choreographed landings and take offs with a few firm groundings from the driest humour of the housekeeper.
It was an abolute delight and I don't mind a repeat scheduled flight if the opporunity should come my way again.
Take your boarding cards and go for it, you can forget all around you for a couple of hours at least.
Kate from Stourbridge
Girlfriend and I saw this last night and thought it was very funny. Great cast, delivered well with great precision.
A comical night out.
Tom Randall from Student from Birmingham
Wonderful set, for Boeing Boeing. The whole cast was brilliantly funny in thier portrayal of the characters.
Doldria from Birmingham
We went to the Rep last Fiday. We saw the original Boeing Boeing in London in the sixties - and we have always remembered the facical comings and goings. The Rep's production was every bit as good as the original that we remembered - we haven't enjoyed ourselves as much for ages. Please put on more like this.
John and Vera from Sutton Coldfield
My wife, daughter & I attended the Saturday matinee.The frenetic action on stage left us all admiring the sheer energy of the cast. The dance routine at the end was an added bonus.Congratulations to all involved in a entertaining two hour escape from all the doom & gloom.
