BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
The first Broadway revival of Neil Simon’s second play opened at the Cort Theatre in the Winter of 2006 and starred Patrick Wilson (Oklahoma!, The Full Monty) as young lawyer Paul Bratter and Amanda Peet (“Studio 60”, The Whole Nine Yards) as his free-spirited newlywed bride Corie. The show follows the young couple as they move from the giddy joy of a honeymoon at The Plaza into the crazy reality of starting married life in a fifth-floor walk-up in New York City. Co-starring two-time Academy Award nominee Jill Clayburgh as Corie’s mother and two-time Tony nominee Tony Roberts (who replaced Robert Redford as Paul in the show’s original Broadway run) as the eccentric upstairs neighbor, Victor Velasco, Barefoot in the Park was directed by Scott Ellis (The Women, Present Laughter) and featured sets by Derek McLane, lighting by Jason Lyons and costumes by Isaac Mizrahi.
