Sarah Jessica Parker: Will She or Won’t She Boeing Boeing on Broadway?
In looking over my various Google Alerts, I was pleased to see yet another celebrity apparently heading to Broadway: Sarah Jessica Parker, of Sex & the City fame, was slated to appear in the U.S. version of Boeing Boeing, a comedy about three airline attendants who get engaged to the same man.
Currently playing in London, it’s supposed to open in the Longacre Theatre in NYC. Parker has been quoted as saying, “…this will be a fantastic new challenge.” But it may be more of a challenge than she thinks: according to ContactMusic, representatives from the show have vehemently denied her involvement.
I kind of wonder why that is – what would be the problem? Her husband Matthew Broderick certainly had a great hit with the revival of The Producers with Nathan Lane, so she’s got to be no stranger to the process.
In fact, she goes further back than that – at 14 she played the lead in Little Orphan Annie. I can’t be sure, but around that time (1979) my parents took me to see that play at Radio City Music Hall one Christmas. I kind of wonder if it was her I saw way back then…
