Welcome to the Plaza Hotel. During your stay, you’ll experience Neil Simon’s timeless comedy masterpiece Plaza Suite, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Get your tickets now on TodayTix.
Two-time Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick and four-time Golden Globe winner Sarah Jessica Parker will return to this production in London after a sold-out limited engagement on Broadway. It will mark the first time this married couple has played opposite each other on a West End stage.
Three captivating stories, three unforgettable couples — all centered around one iconic hotel room. Watch Karen and Sam as they navigate the challenges of a faltering marriage. Experience the sweet nostalgia of high school sweethearts Muriel and Jesse as they contemplate a lifetime together. And join in the laughter and heartache with Norma and Roy, as they grapple with their daughter's uncertainty about her upcoming wedding.
I confess to not being prepared for the range Parker displays here, and her gift for walking a tightrope between wise-cracking wit and wistfulness that at times really did put me in mind of Chekhov, the master whom Simon admired and upon whom he deliberately modelled his own 1973 play, The Good Doctor. She's in tremendous form in the piece that makes up the first half – "The Visitor from Mamaroneck" – in which she plays Karen, an excitable wife approaching 50 who has arrived early at the suite so as to prepare for a giddy anniversary celebration with her husband, Sam (Broderick).
There’s no getting away from the fact that most people coming to see this show are doing so out of curiosity over Broderick and Parker’s onstage chemistry - fortunately they have it by the bucketload, which makes up for some of the shortfall in the material. Broderick is best suited to the more naturally comedic acts two and three, particularly with his Austin Powers-esque Hollywood producer Jesse Kiplinger; he lacks the emotional depth required for Sam Nash, delivering most of his lines in quite a sitcom-like manner.
