co-stars as the domineering matriarch who takes him in. Previews begin

Sep 3, 1998 from BBC News:
"Godzilla" star Matthew Broderick has been hanging around rather a lot on the set of his new picture "Inspector Gadget."
He has just finished a scene for which he had to hang upside down from wires - for a week. He said afterwards: "You can't do that for very long without feeling nauseous unless you're a yoga person." The sets have been specially-built to look as though everything is upside down, and he has been wearing clothes designed to look like they're falling upwards.

May 19, 1997
Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, who
shared a Broadway stage together, are now reportedly husband and wife.
The two were married in front of about a hundred family and friends in
Manhattan on Monday, according to published reports.
The ceremony was so
secret that even invited guests didn't know they were invited to a wedding.
"They just told us to come to New York for a party," Parker's friend, Kathleen
Reinmann, told USA Today.
The wedding took place at the Angel Oresanz Synagogue
on the Lower East Side, and syndicated columnist Liz Smith says that about
forty people sang along with the orchestra that serenaded the newlyweds.
True to their Broadway roots (they've starred together in "How To Succeed
in Business Without Really Trying"), musical selections included show tunes
such as "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Love and Marriage."
The bride wore a black and brown ruffled dress, while the groom donned a suit and tie. The ceremony was an Episcopalian wedding performed by Broderick's sister, the Reverend Janet Broderick Kraft.
According to People magazine, guests also left the ceremony with a wrapped piece of wedding cake and a note from the bride to "Put this under your pillow and dream of your true love."
The thirty-five-year-old Broderick is currently filming "Godzilla" in Manhattan, while Parker, thirty-two, is starring in Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway.
Mar 15, 1997 from Playbill:
The opening in North Carolina had been for The Death of Papa, the ninth play in Horton Foote's "Orphan's Home" cycle about the Robideaux (i.e., his father's) family, a world premiere "that's been held up all these years," said Foote, waiting for Matthew Broderick, who made his acting debut as Bro in the cycle 17 years ago at the HB Studio on Bank Street, to grow old enough to be Bro again in this one. "Bro is now 28, so Matthew just did it," in a cast that included Ellen Burstyn, Polly Holliday and Hallie Foote, daughter of Horton.

Feb 3, 1997 from Playbill:
Matthew Broderick, who stars in Horton Foote's The Death Of Papa, wrenched his knee playing racquetball during the first week
of rehearsals. After a weekend to see how the knee healed, his doctors
decided surgery was in order, because his kneecap had moved to one side
of his knee. The same thing had happened to Broderick's other knee ten
years earlier.
Production spokesperson Pam O'Connor told Playbill that Broderick, "was a real trouper. Other actors might have tried to break their contract, but he stuck with the show. He was on crutches for a day or two, and he'll be in a leg brace for the run of the show."

Dec 2, 1996 from Playbill:
PlayMakers Repertory of Chapel Hill, NC, has postponed until next year its originally scheduled production of "Six Characters In Search Of An Author" in order to present a brand new Horton Foote play, The Death Of Papa, opening Feb. 8, 1997.
This world premiere, running Feb. 5 to March 2, will star Matthew Broderick, Ellen Burstyn, Hallie Foote and Polly Holliday. Rehearsals are to begin Jan. 7. Guest director Michael Wilson stages the show, which is set in Harrison, TX and concludes Foote's nine-play, "The Orphans' Home Cycle."
"I deal with the past a lot," Foote was quoted as saying, "but I don't feel nostalgic about the past. I think if you can't learn from the past, you're in deep trouble. Every day has its problems, and that's really what I'm trying to show." The problems of Papa come when a family deals with their patriarch's unexpected death, and they must struggle to ensure "the future well-being of the family and land."
PlayMakers Rep press and marketing director Pam O'Connor told Playbill the show came as a surprise to the theatre company. "It was originally supposed to be done at the Alley Theatre, like Young Man From Atlanta, but Matthew Broderick's filming schedule just couldn't fit in. So director Michael Wilson suggested here." The three-sided, thrust-stage playhouse holds five-hundred seats.
Matthew Broderick has long been connected with Foote's work. He appeared in the five-part, American Playhouse TV series, "The Story Of A Marriage," and in the Off-Broadway drama, The Widow Claire. He also starred in the Foote films, 1918 and On Valentine's Day. Broderick recently appeared on Broadway with girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.

Mar 24, 1995 from Time:
Theater..."How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying": Matthew Broderick may have landed the lead in Broadway's buoyant revival of the 1961 musical on name recognition alone, but it's hard to begrudge him the part. As J. Pierrepont Finch, the World Wide Wicket Co.'s window washer turned mailroom clerk turned rising executive, Broderick "brings the same quizzical intensity of gaze and naturalness of gesture that carried him to stardom in everything from Neil Simon comedies to the Civil War epic film Glory," says TIME contributor Brad Leithauser. As satire goes, Leithauser adds, director Des McAnuff's amiable version "lacks even some of the mild bite of the original." But "this appealing production urges us all -- whether we are pursuing business success or just a couple of hours' entertainment -- to make light of every obstacle."
Mar 23, 1995 from Playbill:
Matthew Broderick teaches Broadway How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as the Frank Loesser musical is revived at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Broderick will win the Tony for his performance then be 'succeed'ed by John Stamos for a brief stint before returning to close the show July 14, 1996 with his real-life sweetheart (and future wife) Sarah Jessica Parker.
Oct 1, 1993 from Entertainment Weekly:
Last June, back in David Letterman's NBC days, in front of about 4 million Americans, Sarah Jessica Parker publicly encouraged Matthew Broderick, her 18-month steady, to propose to her. He wasn't amused. "I feel older than her in some weird way, or more bitter," explains Broderick, 31. "I just don't want everybody in my business."
Says Parker, "In all honesty, Matthew has a certain maturity I don't possess. I wish I didn't have such a big mouth."
Last year, Parker met Broderick through her brothers Timothy Britten and Pippin, who have worked with him for several years, acting in New York's esteemed theatrical troupe Naked Angels. "It's so nice to date somebody who takes the subway," says Parker.
