Plaza Suite

The stage version of "Plaza Suite" by Neil Simon originally had four acts instead of three. The act that was cut was entitled "Visitor from Toledo", and was intended to open the play. Simon once described the act to the Newark Evening News as being "...about a man who came to New York from out of town and lost his luggage. He got there in the middle of a transit strike. It was snowing. So after he had checked into the Plaza [Hotel] he had this monologue. We put Plaza Suite into rehearsal, and after about the fifth day [director] Mike Nichols said, 'We just have too much show here. If we include that monologue, the curtain will be coming down at midnight.'" Simon later re-worked and expanded that story into the film Escapade à New York (1970).

In Act 3, Norma Hubley's hat gets soaking wet when she sticks her head out of the window. In the next shot it is dry again.
