Plaza Suite is a play in three acts, each of which follows a completely different set of characters dealing with various romance-related mishaps, all staying in Suite 719 of New York’s Plaza Hotel at different times.

“Visitors From Mamaroneck,” centers on Sam and Karen Nash, a long-married couple who are falling out of love. Suite 719 was their honeymoon suite years before, and Karen plans the trip in an attempt to rekindle their romance. However, all does not go as planned, as the two end up more at odds than ever when Karen suspects that Sam is having an affair.

“Visitors From Hollywood,” sees movie producer Jesse Kiplinger meet with Muriel Tate, a suburban housewife who used to date Jesse. He invites Muriel to Suite 719, and she’s just interested in catching up with her old friend, even though she knows he has a penchant for flirting.

Finally, “Visitors From Forest Hills,” centers on Roy and Norma Hubley, who are staying at the Plaza for their daughter Mimsey’s wedding. Mimsey, scared to get married, has locked herself in the suite’s bathroom and refuses to leave. Roy and Norma frantically try to get her out as guests are arriving at the hotel for the ceremony.
