The Foreigner (Off Broadway) News & Features
Acclaimed film and stage star Matthew Broderick returns to the New York stage after recently completing a heralded and record-breaking return engagement in Mel Brook's Tony Award winning The Producers, for which he received his third Tony nomination. Broderick previously received Tonys for his performances in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Brighton Beach Memoirs. After his run in The Foreigner, Broderick will star in the film version of The Producers opposite Nathan Lane and Nicole Kidman.
[IMG:R]The Foreigner tells the uproariously farcical tale of a lovable but socially inept Brit who escapes his stressful life by booking a holiday in backwoods U.S.A. He desperately tries to avoid the local yokels by posing as a foreigner who doesn't understand a word of English. But the plan hilariously backfires when he becomes the perfect person with whom all share their deepest secrets and schemes.
