Aug 2, 2011from New York Post: Matthew Broderick is recovering from minor back surgery as he prepares to return to Broadway, his rep confirmed last night. The star and his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, "were forced to miss some events in the Hamptons last weekend because of the surgery," sources told us. But his spokesman told us, "Matthew had a sports injury some time ago. He pulled something in his back and recently underwent routine surgery. It was a simple procedure, he is fine and is up and about and back at home." "The Producers" star Broderick is preparing to appear in the Kathleen Marshall-directed musical, "Nice Work If You Can Get It," in the spring.
Jun 16, 2011from UPI: NEW YORK - Kathleen Marshall is to direct and choreograph the new Broadway musical comedy "Nice Work if You Can Get It," starring Matthew Broderick.
The 1920s-set show's producers announced Thursday the musical will open next spring.
Produced by Roger Berlind, Sonia Friedman, Roy Furman and Scott Landis, "Nice Work" has a book by "Memphis" writer Joe DiPietro.
"Work" is described as a screwball romantic comedy featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin and revolving around a wealthy playboy who gets mixed up with a hilarious trio of bootleggers.
"I am beyond thrilled to get to work with Matthew Broderick again and to bring Matthew back to Broadway in his first musical since 'The Producers.' The chance to do a new musical comedy with timeless songs by the Gershwin brothers is just heavenly," Marshall said in a statement.
Additional casting, venue and creative team will be announced shortly, the show's producers said.
Jun 14, 2011from Forbes: By Josh Max - At 2:30 AM, I was at an ultra-exclusive 65th Annual Tony Awards afterparty on the Upper East Side watching Academy-and-Tony-award-winning Joel Grey being toasted, talking fine automobiles with lovely “Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks on a couch, and asking Matthew Broderick if he’d tied his own bow tie. He hadn’t.
“My wife tied it, but it started to come loose,” he said, “So this guy right here did it again,” indicating “Catch Me If You Can” songwriter Scott Wittman, also bow-tied.
“Would you mind demonstrating?” I asked. They graciously complied.
Jun 13, 2011from New York Magazine: 11:30 a.m. We overhear Matthew Broderick telling a reporter he doesn’t know where one of his Tonys is.
2:33 a.m. Jackie Hoffman opens the door to leave the O&M party, and Matthew Broderick is in on the other side, just arriving.
3:05 a.m. Matthew Broderick admits to leaving the Tonys halfway through and going to an Irish bar to watch the basketball game. But after the game, he had them change the channel. “I forced Irish people to watch the end of the Tonys.”
from In Touch: In Touch caught up with Matthew Broderick at the Audemars Piguet sponsored Green Room and Gift Suite for the 65th Annual Tony Awards, and he told us exclusively that their adorable twins, Tabitha and Loretta, couldn’t be better. “They’re really good” Matthew, 49, laughed. “They’re almost two and they’re into everything. They run around and pull things apart! They’re really good!”
Matthew shared that he’s taking the summer off from work, which should give him plenty of time to enjoy the summer with his family. “We’re going to take a little trip to Europe, I think,” Matthew said. “And then we’ll just be in Long Island or Connecticut.”
And how has proud brother, James, 8, adapted to his little sisters? “He’s really cute with them,” Matthew said. “He’s older than them, so he’s very protective and nice.”
Jun 9, 2011from PopEater: Clint Eastwood, Matthew McConaughey, Casey Affleck, Helen Mirren, Sidney Poitier, Matthew Broderick, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tim Robbins, Betty White and Samuel L. Jackson were among the stars who gathered Thursday in Hollywood for dazzling a tribute to Morgan Freeman. As guest of honor at the black-tie dinner, catered by Wolfgang Puck, the 74-year-old actor was given a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.
Jun 6, 2011from New York Daily News: Kelly Rutherford lives "La Dolce Vita," baby. The "Gossip Girl" actress spent her elevator ride to the Cinema Society party for the Fellini classic engaged in a vacuum-sealed liplock with lawyer-boyfriend Marcus Ernst on Thursday night. The handful of other partygoers riding to the Top of the Standard did their best not to stare but couldn't help noticing that the couple didn't come up for air for almost the entire ride.
Less flagrant were Adrien Brody and model Paige Hathaway. A source tells us the actor introduced the blond beauty as "my girlfriend" at the screening, which was held at the Tribeca Grand hotel earlier that night.
Just about the only celeb who didn't seem to be engaged in some hot-weather hanky-panky was Matthew Broderick, who came to the party solo.
The actor chatted with Susan Sarandon (who arrived with SPiN Ping-Pong club partner and beau Jonathan Bricklin but didn't hang with him) and other friends. Broderick ended up staying at the Standard until after 12:30 a.m. and on his way out, he struck up a conversation with a woman in the elevator who mentioned that her over-the-counter drug of choice was Tylenol P.M.
Broderick said he thought it "should be illegal," adding, "That stuff knocks you out." Isn't that the point?
May 20, 2011from New York Magazine: The lost alternate ending to the 1999 classic Election found its way onto the Internet recently, and star Matthew Broderick was shocked when Vulture told him about it last night. "What?" he exclaimed, at the premiere for the play Knickerbocker. "That was leaked?" Broderick was tickled to find out that the six-minute sequence, which ends with a conciliatory Mr. McAllister signing Tracy Flick's yearbook, had been found on a garage sale VHS tape — "Oh, I wish they had put it on DVD or something" — but he says it wasn't quite what director Alexander Payne had in mind, either. "What they originally shot was not the ending they originally wrote," Broderick said. "They had an argument. So whatever got leaked is not quite the original script ending. I remember it pretty well, but it was written, not shot. The original ending that they shot, it was sadder, and I guess when they showed it to an audience, they got bummed out. So they made it more upbeat. I like the ending that they released, but I always liked the original one, too." Broderick noted that the lost ending mimicked the book it was based on, though he has no idea what McAllister would have written in that yearbook: "I had a feeling he couldn't figure out what to write himself. I could never figure out what he would write. Maybe that's why it was frustrating for the audience."
May 12, 2011from Extra: Power couple Matthew Broderick and wife Sarah Jessica Parker attended the New York City Ballet's Annual Spring Gala. Broderick shared with "Extra's" A.J. Calloway that SJP's longtime love for the ballet has rubbed off on him. "I'm gonna take some classes."
