The born-and-bred New Yorker (whose father was in iconic NYC movies like Dog Day Afternoon and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three ) feels about The Producers the way people from Chicago feel about Ferris Bueller. Photo-Illustration: Alamy Matthew Broderick doesn’t love looking in his career rearview mirror. “Reminiscing makes me feel old and strange and queasy,” he says. But he’ll make an exception for The Producers. Talking about it, he says, “fills me with pleasure.” That’s not just because the Broadway musical catapulted him to the top of the cultural stratosphere, earning him a Tony nomination and dressing-room introductions to Carl Reiner and Gene Wilder. He’s a born-and-bred New Yorker, so he considers starring in a show and a subsequent movie about New Yorkers to be a personal triumph. “I feel about The Producers the way people from Chicago feel about Ferris Bueller,” he says. The Broadway show opened on April 19, 2001, rooted in the 1967 big-screen comedy of the same name. Written and directed by Mel Brooks, the satire focused on a pair of desperate theater impresarios who inadvertently create a Broadway hit out of a musical about Adolf Hitler. Broderick says, “I remember reading that Mel was developing The Producers and thinking, He’ll never cast me in that. ” He was wrong. Broderick stepped into the role of neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, belting out gut-busting tunes such as “I Wanna Be a Producer” and “Where Did We Go Right?” alongside his friend (and Lion King co-star) Nathan Lane as Max Bialystock. The show opened to record-breaking ticket sales. Bialystock and Bloom would appreciate what happened next: In 2005, three years after Lane and Broderick finished their initial run, Brooks and director Susan Stroman turned their phenomenon of a show into a(nother) movie. The Broadway stars reprised their parts, as did supporting scene-stealers Gary Beach and Roger Bart. For Hollywood oomph, Uma Thurman subbed in as the Swedish … [Read more...] about Matthew Broderick Answers Every Question We Have About

“I went from being a teenage indie rocker to a young-adult indie rocker, and that’s kind of weird.” Photo: Snail Mail via YouTube Lindsey Jordan made her name as a songwriter . The incisively intimate rock music she makes as Snail Mail stands out for its ability to put the most difficult emotions to words in sharp, piercing phrases. Take “Heat Wave,” a single off her 2018 debut album, Lush , when she tells an ex, “I hope whoever it is / Holds their breath around you / ’Cause I know I did.” Or “Stick,” one of the first standouts from her 2016 EP, Habit , which she rerecorded for Lush : “And did things work out for you?” she wails. “Or are you still not sure what that means?” By the time Lush came out in June 2018, Jordan, just shy of 19, was the toast of the indie-singer-songwriter scene, thanks in large part to her pen. In a Best New Music review, Pitchfork’s Ryan Dombal wrote that the album “encompasses the once and future sound of indie rock.” Jordan toured heavily around Lush , playing nearly 200 shows in 2018 and ’19. She was planning a final tour for spring 2020 — then, like everyone, had to go quiet, before emerging a year and a half later with a follow-up Snail Mail album, Valentine , released in November. Jordan had struggled to write songs on the road, and she also struggled to figure out who she wanted to be as an artist after Lush . “I went from being a teenage indie rocker to a young-adult indie rocker, and that’s kind of weird,” she says over the phone. Her canceled 2020 tour gave her time to focus on writing Valentine ; she moved back to her family’s home in Ellicott City, Maryland, for a time, before getting an apartment in Manhattan. During that period off the road, Jordan went through a breakup and spent 45 days in rebab. (“I was dealing with a unique set of circumstances and challenges rooted in being so young when I started,” she told Pitchfork in September. “I needed to hit pause. I was not in any kind of … [Read more...] about Lindsey Jordan’s Long, Bumpy Road to Creative Control of Snail Mail
