It's 1965 and a swinging American in Paris astonishes his naive friend from Wisconsin with the confession that he has three fiancées. He gets away with it because they're all airline hostesses with different schedules, so when his German is in town, his Italian is in Helsinki and his American is in San Francisco. As long as he keeps track of who's where, his system runs like a well-oiled machine. But when the airlines suddenly switch to super-jets and all the schedules instantly change, all three stewardesses end up in the apartment at the same time! The two men and their French maid desperately try to keep the women separated and unaware of each other in an hysterical, door-slamming, face-slapping, fib-telling, French farce.
The most produced French play of the last hundred years, this high-energy comedy is a pure laugh riot from beginning to end. A smash when it opened in Paris in the early sixties, it went on to a seven-year run in London, and was made into a movie starring Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis. The 2008 Broadway production smashed box office records and won the Tony that year for Best Revival.
The show is directed by Kevin Commins, produced by JoAnn Brewer and Algy Layden, and stars Leigh Guptill, Christopher Ross, Carol Reed, Kelsi Powers, Kathleen Walls, and Bettina Matthias.
