Boeing Boeing: Unadulterated, Adulterous Fun

First written for French theater in 1960, Boeing Boeing became one of the most performed French plays in the world. Translated into English, it was eventually adapted into a 1965 film starring Jerry Lewis, and a Broadway revival won several Tonys in 2008. 

I was delighted to attend Studio Tenn’s presentation of the show at Turner Theater in the Factory at Franklin. What was a rather empty space when I was in high school has become a bustling building of restaurants and shops, similar in many ways to L&L Market in Nashville. Since this was my first time in Turner Theater, I’ll write for any of my readers who haven’t yet attended a production here.

I attended the media review night, March 18th. After easily finding parking in the Factory’s free lot, we walked to one of the varied restaurants (my husband and I went to Two Hands, whose croquettes are amazing), then walked across the food court to the theater. A perfect pairing, and so convenient to not have to deal with downtown parking. Except for the drive down to Franklin, Turner Theater at the Factory is easily the most date-friendly theater location in the Nashville area (check out the food options).
