Plane Crazy, a play about “stew life” in the ‘60s, is in the middle of a nine show run in the New York Musical Theater Festival. New York Times writer Miriam Horn gave it a mixed review, but the show appears to have sold out every performance. I wonder: Is it a good play that does justice to the life of stewardesses in the early jet age, or do people just like the songs and the outfits?

MetaFilter has a discussion of the show’s tagline (“When stewardesses were sexy and the world was sexist”), and it includes a link to Cliff Muskiet’s unbeliveable Stewardess/Flight Attendant Uniform Collection. It features almost 400 uniforms from 230 different airlines.

Here in Los Angeles, National Geographic’s All Roads film festival kicks off today at the Egyptian Theater. “Le Grand Voyage,” a movie about a father and son road trip to Mecca, opens the festival. All Roads moves to Washington D.C. September 29 through October 2.
