The play "Boeing, Boeing" revolves around an architect with three air hostess fiancées

Boeing Boeing's Luke Ragotzy and Patrick Hunter play Bernard, a French architect, and Robert, his American friend.

Ragotzy and Hunter join Cara Lieurance to talk about this special genre of comic theater and how to make it sparkle for audiences.
