Taking to their Twitter handles recently, the producers on the Neil Simon show released a statement that read, "Today Sarah Jessica Parker tested positive for COVID with a second test confirming the diagnosis," and added, "With both Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker positive for COVID, tonight’s performance of Plaza Suite is cancelled. The producers apologize for the inconvenience this has caused audience members.”

Further wishing both Sarah and Matthew a speedy recovery, the statement continued, "Ticket holders should contact their point of sale to reschedule for a future performance or obtain a refund." Take a look. 

Parker’s costar and partner Broderick had tested positive for the virus last week, with Michael McGrath being roped in as his replacement. The play has been directed by John Benjamin Hickey and written by Simon. It chronicles three couples staying at the Plaza Hotel. 

Its official synopsis reads- 

"Karen and Sam are a long-married pair whose relationship may be headed for an early checkout. Muriel and Jesse are former high school sweethearts who seem destined for an extended stay. And Norma and Roy are the mother and father of the bride, ready to celebrate their daughter’s nuptials — if only they can get her out of the bathroom."

Plaza Suite also marked the first time Sarah and Broderick shared a Broadway stage since 1996’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. The duo shares son James, 19, and 12-year-old twins Tabitha and Loretta. Meanwhile, Sarah's Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That has also been renewed for a second season by streamer HBO Max.
