Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley are trying to break into show business as professional comedy writers, but when they use their family's foibles as comic material for a radio comedy skit, they face a backlash from their outraged parents. Broadway Bound is the last of Neil Simon's trio of autobiographical plays, following Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues. Broadway Bound, directed by Steppenwolf Theatre Associate Artistic Director David New, was nominated for the 1987 Pulitzer Prize.

This was not my cup of tea. Nothing wrong with acting, subject matter just was uninteresting and I thought boring. My companion and I left during intermission as well as many others. Drury lane Oakbrook Theater is also very uncomfortable as far as seating . It is hard to see stage if others are in front of you. Middle seating is not primo. I would much rather be on side.

Description

Called “a mesmerizing journey” by the New York Times, Neil Simon’s endearing classic comedy Broadway Bound received seven Tony Award nominations and was nominated for a 1987 Pulitzer Prize for drama. Set in the late 1940s in Brighton Beach, New York, Broadway Bound is the story of two brothers, Eugene and Stanley Jerome, who are determined to break into show business as professional comedy writers. When the brothers use the trials and tribulations of their dysfunctional family as inspiration for a radio comedy skit, the Jerome clan may never be the same.

Broadway Bound is a hilarious, warm and poignant tribute to family and the ties that bind.
