Broadway’s Plaza Suite, the Neil Simon revival starring Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, announced a third extension today, citing ticket demand. The comedy will now run at the Hudson Theatre through Sunday, July 10.
Directed by John Benjamin Hickey, Plaza Suite was previously extended to make up for performances canceled after both stars tested positive for Covid. The engagement originally was planned through June prior to the extensions.
Plaza Suite also stars Danny Bolero as The Waiter, Molly Ranson as Jean McCormick/Mimsey Hubley, and Eric Wiegand as The Bellhop/Borden Eisler. The production marks the first time Broderick and Parker have shared a Broadway stage since the 1995 revival of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Plaza Suite began previews on Broadway on Friday, February 25 and opened Monday, March 28. following a sold-out pre-Broadway engagement at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre.

Based on a Japanese novel by writer Nanami Kamon and made with the participation of Japanese producers, I was expecting Room 203 to be yet another Anglicised J-horror in the mould of The Grudge but that’s not exactly what we get. Whilst yes, there may be some elements of J-horror for the most part this is a traditional haunted house movie. Only a hunted house movie that spends a Lot of its running time concentrating on the relationship between the two protagonists. Two broken, fragile women who both bring a lot of baggage to their new co-habiting life.

I often complain that contemporary schlock horror films throw too much at you — the if-this-formula-demon-or-scare-tactic-doesn’t-work-try-this-one approach to keeping an audience goosed. That said, I’m not sure if bare-bones, we’ve-only-got-one-formula-scare-tactic-in-our-bag minimalism is the answer. In “Room 203,” a couple of besties — Kim (Francesca Zuereb), a freshman college journalism student, and Izzy (Viktoria Vinyarska), an aspiring actress and dissolute party girl still traumatized by her mother’s death-by-od — find an apartment together in an eccentric old converted commerce building.
How do we know the place is meant to creep us out? Because they’re in room 203, which looks like a half-finished boutique hotel suite, and when you title a film “Room 203” you’re undoubtedly invoking “The Shining”. Because the landlord, in a newsboy cap and bowtie, is named Ronan (Scott Gremillion) and acts like the sole weird competitor in a best zoomer John Malkovich impersonation contest. And because the...

And Then I Woke Up: "In the tradition of Mira Grant and Stephen Graham Jones, Malcolm Devlin’s And Then I Woke Up is a creepy, layered, literary story about false narratives and their ability to divide us.
"A scathing portrait of the world we live in and a running commentary on what’s story, what’s truth, and what’s not."—Stephen Graham Jones
