About

The Neil Simon Plays - Two of Broadway's best-loved masterpieces  from America's most treasured playwright, BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS and BROADWAY BOUND will be playing in repertory at the Nederlander Theatre.  Please note that a separate ticket must be purchased for EACH production.


BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS and BROADWAY BOUND were two of the longest running Broadway plays of the 1980s.  The works ushered in a new era of appreciation for Neil Simon, with praise for the playwright's hilarious and poignant account of his adolescence, early career and family life in New York in the 1930s and 1940s.

BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
centers on young Jewish teen Eugene Morris Jerome and his extended family living in a crowded home in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn in 1937: his overworked father, Jack; overbearing mother, Kate; his older brother Stanley; Kate's widowed sister Blanche and her daughters, Nora and Laurie.  As Eugene spends his time daydreaming about a baseball career, he must also cope with his family's troubles, his awkward discovery of the opposite sex and his developing identity as a writer. 

BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
stars Laurie Metcalf (Kate Jerome) and Dennis Boutsikaris (Jack Jerome) with Santino Fontana (Stanley Jerome), Jessica Hecht (Blanche), Gracie Bea Lawrence (Laurie), Noah Robbins (Eugene Jerome) and Alexandra Socha (Nora).
BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS originally opened on March 27, 1983 at the Alvin Theatre and played for 1,299 performances.  (During the run of BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS, the Alvin Theatre was renamed The Neil Simon Theatre).

    Excellent

    by Zorjot on 11/3/09Nederlander Theatre - New York

    This was an excellent play. The cast members put on the show of their life. I would highly recommend Brighton Beach Memoirs. It was money well spent.

    Tony material !!!

    by SherryGary on 11/2/09Nederlander Theatre - New York

    I canNOT believe this show has closed. I went yesterday, when I heard it was closing (I'd planned to come in December). It was fabulous! I dare say it was not given enough of a chance to generate the necessary buzz. I understand advance ticket sales were slow, but the (very positive) reviews had just come out. The actors in the two boys' roles were amazing -- and the whole ensemble was great.

    Wonderful show

    by AD1551 on 11/2/09Nederlander Theatre - New York

    This show was what great theater is all about. I'm so disappointed by the early closing because I'd see if again if I could.

    This play was funny, and both my wife and and I enjoyed it immensely. Too bad that it's set to close early.

    Unbelievable!!!

    by dcgphd on 11/2/09Nederlander Theatre - New York

    If for no other reason, go see it for Noah Robbins who stars as the lead - the 15 year old boy who desribes his life growing up in Brooklyn in the late 30's. He is masterful. The audience exploded in applause at the end. I can't believe that there is a rumor that the show is closing. Go see it before it leaves...it was probably the best play I have seen on Broadway in 10 years. Very funny - very moving.

    Soooo entertaining

    by mamaross on 11/1/09Nederlander Theatre - New York

    The theatre was lovely, the actors remarkable and the dramatization delightful. .. Brought two young adults in their 20s who enjoyed the play as much as I did.
