"Gina Gershon and Mary McCormack join the previously announced Christine Baranski, Mark Rylance and Bradley Whitford in the Broadway production of the London smash Boeing-Boeing, Marc Camoletti's classic sixties comedy of errors opening at the Longacre Theatre Sunday, May 4. Directed by Matthew Warchus, the show begins preview performances Saturday, April 19. Casting for the final flight attendant will be announced shortly.
Gina Gershon, who will play Gabriella, the Italian flight attendant, is best known for her performances in the films Bound, The Insider and Face/Off and the TV series "Ugly Betty" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." A founding member of Naked Angels, she previously appeared on Broadway in an acclaimed run as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.
Mary McCormack will play Gretchen, the German flight attendant. Her breakout performance as Howard Stern's wife in his film Private Parts led to roles on the hit series "The West Wing" and "ER", the films K-Pax, Deep Impact and Stephen King's 1408 and, beginning in June, in her own USA Network series "In Plain Sight." She returns to Broadway where she co-starred with Alan Cumming in Cabaret..."

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 3/1/08 at 1:55pmLoved Gershon the few times I've seen her on UGLY BETTY, I'm sure she'll be funny in this piece.

Does anyone know roughly how long the cast of Boeing Boeing (Whitford, Baranski, McCormick, Gershon) are contracted to appear. I'm looking to fly over from the UK and don't want to leave it too late.
Thanks in advance.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 6:19amTickets are on sale through September 7th, so it's fair to assume that unless there is an extension, everyone is slated to be there until at least September 7th.
