Matthew Broderick stopped by last night's LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS to discuss his new show 'It's Only A Play,' opening tonight for a limited 18-week engagement at Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street).
The actor spoke about reuniting with his co-star Nathan Lane for the third time as well as what it's like to receive bad reviews occassionally. "It hurts your feelings when you get the bad reviews, but we're lucky to be in the business at all. You've got to take the bad with the good ladies and gentleman," joked Broderick who went on to admit, "It's a real bummer."
Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham, Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick, Emmy and Tony Award winner Stockard Channing, international film sensation Rupert Grint, Tony Award winnerNathan Lane, Emmy Award winner Megan Mullally, and newcomer Micah Stock star in IT'S ONLY A PLAY. Three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien directs.
In IT'S ONLY A PLAY, it's opening night of Peter Austin's (Broderick) new play as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big First Night with his best friend, a television star (Lane), his fledgling producer (Mullally), his erratic leading lady (Channing), his wunderkind director (Grint), an infamous drama critic (Abraham), and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant (Stock) on his first night in Manhattan. It's alternately raucous, ridiculous and tender -- and proves that sometimes the biggest laughs happen offstage.
