Sunday, June 8 was New York City theater's biggest night of the year, with the 78th annual Tony Awards taking place in Radio City Music Hall.
Broadway's biggest and brightest descended upon the famed venue for a night of accolades and performances, and then immediately hit the dancefloor for hours of raucous after parties, one among them being Matthew Broderick.
The actor, 63, is a celebrated star of the stage himself, having won two Tony Awards before even turning 35. For a night of celebration after the show, he brought along his son James Wilkie Broderick for the ride.

Matthew wore a shimmery brown blazer with matching pants and a white button down while James, looking more and more like a chiseled duplicate of his parents, donned a pastel pink sweater with white pants.
Others at the party included other nominees and presenters like Sarah Paulson, Carrie Preston, Ben Stiller, Daniel Dae Kim, Julianne Hough, Daveed Diggs, Adam Labert, and many more.

His second came in 1995, this time Best Actor in a Musical for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. His most recent effort on the Broadway stage was in 2024's revival of Plaza Suite from the West End, co-starring with none other than his wife Sarah Jessica Parker.
The actress is an accomplished star of the stage herself, boasting two Drama Desk Award nominations for her work in plays. Her most recent work was also Plaza Suite, earning a nomination for a Laurence Olivier Award for its rendition on the West End.

His proud parents have opened up about his desire to pursue their craft as well, with Matthew recently telling People that he "is gonna try, yeah. He's very smart," adding that his schooling definitely helps. "He has a really good education too, so he has a lot of different things he can do, but I think right now he likes acting."

"Well, I'll give advice if I'm asked, [but] my wife is with him when he does auditions," he shared. "It's self-tape nowadays and she'll read with him and tell him, 'It's not good.' And you know I will too. We definitely [support him] but only if he wants to."
