This new stylishly retro production was a monster comedy hit on London’s West End. You can catch it on Broadway or at New Theatre.

Bernard is a bachelor juggling a very precarious social calendar. He is engaged simultaneously to three different stewardesses. Helped by his long suffering housekeeper Bertha (Marla Gibbs), Bernard has devised a sophisticated timetable so that each girlfriend visits him on their layovers and remains completely oblivious of the other two. Everything proceeds like clockwork until the arrival of the new double speed Super Boeing which changes the schedules of the airlines. Bernard’s old school friend Robert arrives unexpectedly and unwittingly joins in a farcical whirlwind of mayhem.
