This was followed by a supporting role as [[Harvey Fierstein]]'s gay adopted son, David, in the [[off-Broadway]] production of Fierstein's ''[[Torch Song Trilogy]]''; then, a good review by ''[[The New York Times]]'' theater critic [[Mel Gussow]] brought him to the attention of [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]. Broderick commented on the effects of that review in a 2004 ''[[60 Minutes II]]'' interview:

{{blockquote|Before I knew it, I was like this guy in a hot play. And suddenly, all these doors opened. And it's only because Mel Gussow happened to come by right before it closed and happened to like it. It's just amazing. All these things have to line up that are out of your control.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Leung|first=Rebecca|date=13 September 2004|title=Matthew Broderick: An Interview With The Star, And Sarah Jessica Parker|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/matthew-broderick/|access-date=2020-09-11|website=CBS News}}</ref>}}

===Ancestry===
In March 2010, Broderick was featured in the [[NBC]] program ''[[Who Do You Think You Are? (American TV series)|Who Do You Think You Are?]]'' He said his participation in the ancestry research program emotionally reconnected him with [[Robert Gould Shaw|the role he played]] in ''[[Glory (1989 film)|Glory]]'', as he discovered his paternal great-great-grandfather, Robert Martindale, was a [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]] soldier. A veteran of the [[Battle of Gettysburg]], Martindale, who belonged to the [[20th Connecticut Infantry Regiment|20th Connecticut]], was killed in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Atlanta]] and interred in an unnamed grave at the [[Marietta National Cemetery]]. Having identified the grave with the help of historian Brad Quinlin, Broderick's research enabled him to give his ancestor his name back. In the same program, Broderick discovered that his paternal grandfather, James Joseph Broderick II, whom he had never known, was a highly decorated combat medic in [[World War I]], having earned his distinctions during the [[Meuse–Argonne offensive]].<ref name="huffingtonpost.com"/>

===1987 car crash===
On August 5, 1987, while driving a rented car outside [[Tempo, County Fermanagh|Tempo]], [[Northern Ireland]], Broderick crossed into the wrong lane and collided head-on with another car. The driver, Anna Gallagher, 28, and her mother, Margaret Doherty, 63, were both killed instantly.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Broderick To Be Tried in Car Crash Death |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/08/arts/broderick-to-be-tried-in-car-crash-death.html |website=The New York Times |access-date=23 August 2019 |date=8 September 1987 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181004215300/https://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/08/arts/broderick-to-be-tried-in-car-crash-death.html |archive-date=October 4, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.impartialreporter.com/news/13857371.broderick-not-a-great-choice/ | title=Broderick not a great choice | date=February 9, 2012 }}</ref> He was vacationing with [[Jennifer Grey]], whom he had begun dating during the filming of ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]''.

The victims' family called the verdict "a travesty of justice". The victims' brother/son, Martin Doherty, later forgave Broderick amid plans to meet him in 2003.<ref>{{cite web | title=Matthew Broderick will meet with crash victims' kin | website=EW.com | date=September 3, 2002 | url=https://ew.com/article/2002/09/03/matthew-broderick-will-meet-crash-victims-kin/ | access-date=April 24, 2022}}</ref> In February 2012, when Broderick was featured in a multi-million-dollar [[Honda]] commercial that aired during the [[Super Bowl XLVI]], Doherty said the meeting had still not taken place and that Broderick "wasn't the greatest choice of drivers, knowing his past".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.impartialreporter.com/news/roundup/articles/2012/02/09/395744-broderick-not-a-great-choice/|title=Broderick not a great choice|first=Sarah|last=Saunderson|date=February 9, 2012|work=Impartial Reporter|publisher=William Trimble Ltd|location=Ireland|access-date=May 10, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511002234/http://www.impartialreporter.com/news/roundup/articles/2012/02/09/395744-broderick-not-a-great-choice|archive-date=May 11, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>
