Sarah Jessica Parker Nominated For Olivier In West End Debut

Multi-award-winning megastars, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick join theatrical forces as they bring this highly feted Broadway production of Neil Simon's classic play, Plaza Suite to London in winter 2024! Directed by John Benjamin Hickey the real-life husband and wife team star as three separate couples in this rarely revived comedy and marks Sarah Jessica Parker's West End debut and first Olivier nomination!

First debuting on Broadway in 1968, Plaza Suite played an unprecedented 1097 performances and starred two of the time's biggest screen actors (much like this 2020 revival), George C. Scott and Maureen Stapleton as the lovers. In three separate acts, Plaza Suite focuses on three couples as they navigate love and life, with hilarious consequences, in Suite 719 of the Plaza Hotel. 

SJP AND BRODERICK

This will be the second time that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have starred alongside one another on stage. They last appeared together in the 1995 Broadway revival of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.

Broderick last graced the West End stage in Kenneth Lonergan's The Starry Messenger and is well acquainted with Simon's work, having received his first of two Tony awards in the playwright's Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Although best known for her featured role as Carrie in TV juggernaut Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker is an accomplished stage actress. Her previous stage credits include the original Broadway cast of Annie (1977), The Innocents (1976) and Off Broadway's Sylvia (1995), plus many others.
