“You know, speaking of how talented my wife is, I should also say that getting to do this play, even though we only just did it in Boston for a little while … she was so, so good in it,” he said.
“I really had never acted with her onstage and hadn’t really acted with her at all. And I was just reminded of how funny and smart and what a great comic actor she is — or actor, never mind the comic part,” Broderick continued. “She’s very good at it. So I hope everybody gets to see her do it.”
