He was born in New York City, the son of actor James Broderick and his wife Patricia. Broderick attended the Walden School, a private school in Manhattan with a strong drama program. He met actress Sarah Jessica Parker in 1992 and has been married to her since 1997. The couple has one child, named after Broderick's late father.
Broderick's first break came in role in an HB Studio workshop production of Horton Foote's On Valentine's Day, playing opposite his father James Broderick, who was a friend of Foote's. This was followed by a lead role in the off-Broadway production of Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy. He returned to Broadway as a musical star in the 1990s, most notably in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Mel Brooks' stage version of The Producers in 2001, and continues to make films. He has won two Tony Awards, in 1983 for his featured role in the play Brighton Beach Memoirs, and in 1995 for his leading role in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!.
