Sarah Jessica Parker Posts Poignant Tribute To Broadway As ‘Plaza Suite’ With Matthew Broderick Is Shut Down

Sarah Jessica Parker recently posted a hopeful message while reflecting on the postponement of Plaza Suite — the Broadway revival she was set to star in with her husband, Matthew Broderick.

Amid the temporary shutdown of all Broadway shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the actress shared photos of the empty Plaza Suite stage. Drop cloths covering the furnishings and props could be seen, along with a shot of the lonely marquee bearing photos of her and Broderick and the March 13 preview date that was canceled.

In the caption to the post, Parker wrote that the Great White Way will not stay quiet “for long.” The former HBO star added that she looks forward to the return of the busyness of the city and for the eventual reopening of the Hudson Theatre — the venue in which her Broadway revival will be performed.

Parker also took the opportunity to wish “for everyone’s good health,” as she is currently in the middle of dealing with the personal effects of the ongoing crisis. Just recently, her sister-in-law Janet Broderick was reported as testing positive for the illness, but no other details have been released about her condition at this time.

“Amen,” wrote Parker’s good friend Andy Cohen.

“Well said,” commented her former Sex and the City co-star Willie Garson

“We love you! Be well and see you soon!” came a message from the official Plaza Suite Instagram page.

Other fans noted that they knew Parker would know what to say during this unprecedented situation.

“I KNEW you would be the one to say something so calming and caring to tamp down my worries. Thank you,” replied another fan.

After a successful run at Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston last month, Parker and Broderick were set to bring their revival of the Neil Simon comedy to Broadway for 17 weeks starting on April 18.

The celebrity duo will play three different couples in their postponed run of Plaza Suite, which will mark their first stage show together since 1995’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, according to Playbill. Danny Bolero, Molly Ranson, and Eric Wiegand are also in the cast of the upcoming stage show.

While Parker recently told Vogue that the two had been perfectly content with watching each others’ careers from the sidelines, the stage pairing was spawned when the production’s director — their longtime friend John Benjamin Hickey — asked them to do a one-night-only reading of the show at New York’s Symphony Space.
