"Taller Than a Dwarf" -- official web site
New York Daily News, 11/9/99: Hopkins Quits "Woolf" Anthony Hopkins has dropped out of the staged reading of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," set for Sunday night at the Majestic Theater, and has been replaced by Jonathan Pryce. The reading also starts Uta Hagen, who played the role of Martha in the original Broadway production. Mia Farrow and Matthew Broderick have been cast as the younger couple in the Edward Albee play. The evening is a benefit for the HB Foundation, which runs a noted acting school. For ticket information, call (212) 838-2660.
New York Post, 7/27/99: Matthew Broderick and Rosie Perez will appear in a reading of Liz Ruccillo's new basketball musical "Joe Fearless" at the Angel Orensanz Theater, 172 Norfolk St., on the Lower East Side. Described as a hybrid of dance, cheerleading, basketball, music and text, the play tracks an ordinary Joe's obsession with the NBA and how his favorite team makes it to the finals after 23 years of trying. It's free, but first-come, first-served - and begins at 8 p.m. Reservations: 212-566-6235.
New York Post, 6/8/99: Night Must Fall will close on Sunday, June 27th, 1999.
New York Daily News Theater Talk by Michael Riedel (3/26/99): Powered by an unexpected rave from the New York Times, "Night Must Fall" is moving from the Lyceum to the Helen Hayes for an open-ended run. The creaky old thriller was pushed out of the Lyceum by a new play, "Lonesome Dove" which begins performances next month. Matthew Broderick, who stars as a charismatic psychopath in "Night Must Fall" has extricated himself from a summer commitment to the Hartford Stage and will remain with the production indefinitely.
The New York Times On Stage and Off by Jesse McKinley (3/26/99): Expect a few aching bones on the crew. Producers for "Night Must Fall" said yesterday they will close at the Lyceum after the matinee on April 11, pack up and aim to reopen a mere two days later at the Helen Hayes.

Daily News: 2/17/99 - 'Night Must' postpone its opening
- "Night Must Fall," the revival of the 1936 mystery melodrama currently in previews at the Lyceum theater with Matthew Broderick and Judy Parfitt in the starring roles, yesterday abruptly postponed its official opening. Originally set to open Sunday, the show's bow has been moved back to March 8. Production personnel refused to say why the show was being moved back but outside sources hint that there may be a cast change in the offing. "It won't be either Matthew or Judy," an insider insisted. The play, by Emlyn Williams, was made into a movie in 1937 starring Robert Montgomery, Rosalind Russell and Dame May Whitty.

It isn't Matthew, but it is the song from the play (sounds strangely like Bing Crosby...)

People Magazine: BRODERICK BACK ON BROADWAY
Look for Matthew Broderick to star as the innocent-looking killer in this December's revival of Emlyn Williams' suspenseful "Night Must Fall." Producer (and actor) Tony Randall tells PEOPLE Daily correspondent Heather Dean that the "Godzilla" star will be performing in the play for Randall's National Actors Theater.
NY Post 7/14/98: Matthew Broderick may play the title role in a Broadway Revival of "The Music Man" (1957). "It's something Matthew very much wants to do," one friend said. Sources at Dodger Endemol Theatricals (the producers) confirmed that the company was talking with Broderick. ...Film committments "prevent him from doing anything on Broadway for six months." ...Perfect timing according to Dodger..."The Music Man" won't start until next February.
