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.
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.
In John Benjamin Hickey’s production, transferred from Broadway, the pair are certainly competent, with all the accomplished comic timing and cunningly deployed, tongue-in-cheek charm that their screen work promises. But there’s a grating, over-deliberate quality here, every gag, tic, cocked eyebrow and wry intonation arriving bang on cue without the faintest scintilla of spontaneity. It’s nowhere near enough to lend substance to Simon’s overstretched writing.
