Written by Neil Simon
Directed by Jerry Pettinati

A long-married couple celebrates an anniversary with a return trip to their honeymoon suite. A Hollywood producer, famous for both his films and his womanizing, arranges a rendezvous with his old high school flame, now a starstruck New Jersey housewife. And a manic couple hosting an expensive wedding reception for their daughter faces one basic problem--the bride refuses to come out of the bathroom.

These three fall-down-funny scenes have two things in common...they’re all set in New York’s spectacular Plaza Hotel, and they’re all written by the Bard of Broadway, Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, Brighton Beach Memoirs). Nominated for three Tony Awards in 1968 (winning for Mike Nichols as Best Director) and then turned into a highly successful film starring Walter Matthau, Plaza Suite ran for over 1,000 performances and is still one of Simon’s most enduring (and endearing) plays.
