Editing Plaza Suite (section)

==Film adaptations==
Simon adapted his play for a [[Plaza Suite (film)|1971 film]] starring [[Walter Matthau]], Stapleton, [[Barbara Harris (actress)|Barbara Harris]], and [[Lee Grant]], but he was unhappy with the outcome. He felt the conceit of one actor playing the lead role in all three acts worked on stage but not on screen, especially if the actor was Matthau, who he felt was the right choice only for the beleaguered father-of-the-bride, Roy Hubley.<ref name="Plaza Suite"/>

On December 31, 1982, HBO broadcast a production (shot in front of a live audience) starring [[Lee Grant]] and [[Jerry Orbach]] playing all three roles.

In 1987, [[Carol Burnett]] starred in a [[television movie]] in which she portrayed all three female roles. Starring opposite her were [[Hal Holbrook]] as Sam Nash, [[Dabney Coleman]] as Jesse Kiplinger, and [[Richard Crenna]] as Roy Hubley. Burnett was also the executive producer with direction by Roger Beatty and Kenny Solms.<ref name="Plaza Suite">{{cite web|url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/470488/plaza-suite#credits|title=Plaza Suite|work=[[Turner Classic Movies]]|publisher=[[Turner Broadcasting System]] ([[Time Warner]])|location=[[Atlanta]]|access-date=October 9, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Shirley|first=Don|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-12-03-ca-26114-story.html|title=TV REVIEW : Carol Burnett Checks Into ABC's 'Plaza Suite,' Playing Three Roles|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|location=[[Los Angeles]]|date=December 3, 1987|access-date=October 9, 2016}}</ref>
