Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and Media“Plaza Suite,” the hot-ticket Neil Simon revival that stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, has been a box office juggernaut since debuting last spring.

The show has become the third-highest grossing play revival in Broadway history, generating $26.4 million in ticket sales as of last weekend.

That ranks just behind the 2014 revival of “It’s Only a Play,” which netted $34.3 million, as well as the 2005 revival of “The Odd Couple” with its $28.9 million gross.

Both of those shows also featured Broderick, making him investors’ favorite ingredient when it comes to reviving plays. “Plaza Suite” should end its run in the $28 million range.The show was originally intended to open in spring 2020, but was delayed after COVID shuttered live theater. “Plaza Suite” centers on three different stories involving three very different couples, all of whom are played by real-life married couple Broderick and Parker.
