Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick Dazzle at Broadway’s “Smash” Opening Night
So, guess what? Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick just made a splash at the opening night of “Smash” on Broadway, and it was a family affair that had everyone buzzing! The fab couple, who still give us major relationship goals after 28 years of marriage, strutted down the red carpet at the Imperial Theatre in New York City alongside their stylish twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell. Talk about a glam squad! Parker, rocking a chic all-black ensemble that included a dazzling ballerina-length skirt, and Broderick, looking sharp in a blue suit with a paisley tie, showed us all how it’s done. The girls were equally adorable, with Tabitha in a green dress and turquoise coat, while Marion rocked a black dress topped with a cream coat—who knew the next generation of fashion icons was right under our noses?
Now, if you’ve been living under a rock, let’s fill you in: “Smash” is a stage adaptation of the popular NBC series that centered around the drama of creating a fictional musical about none other than Marilyn Monroe. This new production features some of the original tunes from the show, like “Let Me Be Your Star,” which are now given a fresh twist. The musical is directed by Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman, with choreography by Emmy winner Joshua Bergasse, who’s expanding on the original dance numbers. The cast is packed with talent, including Krysta Rodriguez and Brooks Ashmanskas, making this a must-see for theater lovers.
Parker and Broderick, longtime friends of the creative team behind “Smash,” were spotted at the premiere of the original series back in 2012, proving their loyalty to the project. And how cool is it that they brought their daughters to experience this Broadway moment? Their 22-year-old son, James Wilkie, is also following in their artistic footsteps, although one of the twins apparently isn’t too keen on performing—talk about keeping us on our toes! Broderick recently shared that one of the girls is “repelled” by the prospect of acting. I mean, can you blame her if she wants to forge her own path?
Tickets for “Smash” are now available, so if you’re in the mood for a night filled with music, drama, and some dazzling performances, you know where to be. Just make sure to dress to impress—you never know who you might run into on that red carpet!
And there you have it, folks! Another night of Broadway magic with a sprinkle of celebrity charm. Time to update your social calendar—this is one show you won’t want to miss!
