From one of America’s most celebrated playwrights, Neil Simon’s California Suite is a laugh-out-loud comedy that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. Set in Suite 203-04 at The Beverly Hills Hotel, four unique stories unfold as visitors from New York, Philadelphia, London, and Chicago check in, bringing their own “baggage” with them. Packed with Simon’s signature wit, unforgettable characters, and physical comedy, California Suite is a must-see event that will leave you laughing, reflecting, and craving more.
