Distracted is a fast-paced and disarmingly funny look at parenting in the age of the Internet and Ritalin. In this New York premiere, a contemporary American mom reaches out to teachers, psychotherapists, and neighbors to figure out if Attention Deficit Disorder is the root of her son's problems.

Cynthia Nixon returns to Roundabout having last appeared in the 2001 production of The Women at the American Airlines Theatre. She returns to the New York stage after her Tony winning performance in the 2006 production of Rabbit Hole and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Mark Brokaw also returns to the Roundabout and the Laura Pels Theatre after directing the 2006 production of Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer with Blythe Danner and Carla Gugino and The Constant Wife at the American Airlines Theatre in 2004. Peter Benson was last seen at Roundabout in 2006 Tony Award winning production of The Pajama Game as well as Little Me & Cabaret;

Lisa Emery was also featured in The Women with Cynthia Nixon in 2001; Natalie Gold was featured in Roundabout's fall production of The Language of Trees and last season's Howard Katz.

Distracted had its world premiere in March 2007 at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
