Initially set to preview on March 13, 2020, "Plaza Suite" got halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Broadway News reported that the show was able to premiere a month prior, and the opening night was set at the same venue on March 28.
The Broadway show tells the story of three couples, all played by Parker and Broderick. The three sets of lovers stay in the same hotel room as they navigate through their connections.
"The Visitor From Mamaroneck" is the first act, which revolves around the story of Karen and Sam Nash as they try to blossom their relationship again.
The second act, "Visitor from Hollywood," is about Jesse Kiplinger and Murial Tate. The third and final act features the true-to-life story of Roy and Norma Hubley.
Before playing the iconic role of New York City fashionista Carrie Bradshaw, Parker worked as an actor on Broadway, and "Plaza Suite" marks her on stage comeback after two decades.
