America’s favorite rom-com! Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find – too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job.
After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco, where everything that can go wrong does. Paul just doesn’t understand Corie, as she sees it. He’s too staid, too boring, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. Running “barefoot in the park” would be a start.
In a case of opposites attract, blissful young newlyweds struggle to get along in their Manhattan fixer-upper apartment. Barefoot In The Park is among the top 10 longest-running non-musical plays in Broadway history, and it was turned into a blockbuster movie.
