I loved The Plaza Suite! I would have given the production five stars, but the script, at times, showed its age. It was written in the sixties! That said, Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick acted their socks off! Their comic timing was superb. They lifted what could have been a standard farce, into a fun, energetic set of three totally different scenarios in the same suite. Although the suite itself didn't change ... Sarah and Matthew looked completely different in each act. (Sarah immaculately attired, of course). The second set, in particular, was hilarious. How did Matthew slip around the stage like that. How did SJP flip out her legs and arms and throw herself about with such skilled abandonment? And when they did that silly dance together ... well. :-) My friend reminded me that I've done similar in the kitchen -- and I guess that was what was so good about this improvision. The couple used little magic moments like this to light up the stage. SJP (who I love from SATC) did not disappoint. Nor did Mathew Broderick. Five star performances.
