Where there's Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, Barefoot in the Park, and more), there is clever dialogue, relatable characters, and upbeat comedy. "Plaza Suite," which was a recent Broadway revival starring Matthew Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker, is a rollicking compilation of three short plays about love and relationships. What binds the three plays together? They all take place in Suite 719 of the Plaza Hotel.
