Love is in the air with Neil Simon's Tony nominated romantic comedy about newlyweds who, true to the times, don't really know each other yet - and argue about their differences. We witness the young couple, Corie and Paul, as they begin their married life in their newly acquired tiny 5th floor walk-up apartment in Manhattan. Paul is an uptight, strait-laced lawyer and Corie, a spontaneous free spirit. After a glorious six-day honeymoon, their real life begins - - and they discover that adjusting to married life isn't so easy! The original production of BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, directed by Mike Nichols, opened on Broadway in 1963 and starred Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley as Paul and Corie. Replacements later in the run included Tony Roberts, RoBert Reed, Penny Fuller, and Joan Van Ark. The play ran for 1,530 performances, making it Neil Simon's longest-running Broadway show. Mike Nichols won the Tony Award for Best Director of a Play, and Tony nominations also went to Neil Simon and Elizabeth Ashley.Videos
