Reviews are out for the West End run of Plaza Suite, starring real-life married couple Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker (in her West End debut). The show began performances January 17 at London's Savoy Theatre and recently extended its limited run through April 13.
Two-time Tony winner Broderick and two-time Emmy winner Parker play three different twosomes each spending an evening in New York City's famed Plaza Hotel: one couple dealing with difficulties in their marriage on their 24th anniversary, a pair of high-school sweethearts reuniting after many years apart, and the frenzied parents of a jittery bride on her wedding day. John Benjamin Hickey, who directed the production's 2022 Broadway run, continues at the helm of the West End outing.
Broderick and Parker are joined onstage by Charlie Oscar, Eric Sirakian, and Rohit Gokani.
