Plaza Suite (Gallery Players)

See it if One of Simon's best efforts Well played & well paced for the most part, 2nd act sketch dated & draggy but final act is Simon at dizzing best

Don't see it if Acting not as sharp as needed but Simon & Tebo shine in Act 3 Humor is definitely dated but Simon holds up with this decent revisit

Also Partner's 90% & my 85 %. Each One Act (done in 2 acts) better than the previous with Mitch Tebo the best in the 3rd one.. Nice set. Always enjoy the Gallery Players. Nice staff. Good talk-back I Think the young Jim Deprophetis did much with just a few lines. His movement and expressions were dead on. It is not for those who need a 90 minute production and no more, and no more. We had seen it ages ago but were pleased to view it again. Bravo to the Gallery. Now anticipating Chess.Gallery is even netter with musicals... Read more Read less

See it if you can place yourself in a different time period to enjoy the laughs of three different situations. Good acting and use of stage.

Don't see it if you are bothered by a comical play that does not relate well to current times even though the three subjects are still alive today.

See it if you enjoy character studies, one-act plays (this show is composed of 3), & classic comedies. Or you like discovering great, unknown talent.

Don't see it if you prefer more "heady," challenging fare. This show is light and fun, but also contains some substance (the first act in particular).

See it if You enjoy Neil Simon. This is an old school classic comedy.

Don't see it if If you are expecting one full length play. This is three one act plays that have nothing to do with each other.

Also I had no idea What I was walking into but I was pleasantly surprised by all aspects of the show and the performances. I have acted in some Neil Simon plays before and I really enjoy his material. I have never seen this play nor have I heard anything about it. I was a bit confused because the entire first act is one play but it didn’t have an ending to it. I just assumed when I came back from intermission the play would continue. To my surprise it was a completely different show using the same actors. Halfway through the second act it happened again and we got our third play. The only thing these three plays have in common if they all have taken place in the same Hotel Suite... Read more Read less

See it if you’ve been married for over 20 years

Don't see it if you aren’t interested in marriage dynamics of the 60s, or how marriage dynamics today haven’t changed since the 60s

Also House was packed and the audience couldn’t stop laughing—real, loud, hysterical laughter. Even though this play isn’t really my style I’ll admit the performance I went to was a really successful show. The play is a sharply written situational comedy w/ many zingers and ample opportunities for physical stuff too. Worn/classic portrayals of how marriage corrupts love (particularly for upper-middle class New Yorkers). A lot of the humor revolves around the flightiness of women and the boorish insensitivity of their mates—which is so timeless today’s sitcoms still do it although w/ sappier outcomes than the ones Simon wrote.

However, the show runs into the usual problems that happen when you cast actors in their 30-40s to play people in their 50s. (Why??) I would have liked it more if these were age appropriate actors w/ the maturity to pull off the disenchanted outlook these roles require. But I was in the minority. Most of the audience really responded to this cast.... Read more Read less

Also It is not categorized as 'community theater'. It is an award-winning NYC Equity Showcase Theater utilizing many professional actors.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don’t like plays

See it if you enjoy Neil Simon and are willing to enjoy this classic in a retro kind of way.

Don't see it if You have little interest in the dicey state of man-woman relationships in the 1960s. This is a dark comedy with laughs and suffering.

Also Being a baby boomer myself, I found this play somewhat enjoyable as a fluffy blast from the past. But at the same time, I found some of the female characters to be so desperate and eager to please that they were painful to watch. My male companion (on the other hand), thought the play was hilarious from beginning to end.... Read more Read less
