"**Broadway Bound**" is a play by Neil Simon, which premiered on Broadway in 1986. It is the third installment in Simon's semi-autobiographical trilogy, following "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Biloxi Blues." The play revolves around the experiences of the Jerome family, particularly Eugene and his brother Stanley, as they pursue careers in comedy writing in the 1940s. The family dynamics, personal struggles, and aspirations of the characters form the central themes of the play. Like much of Simon's work, "Broadway Bound" combines humor with poignant reflections on family relationships and the pursuit of dreams.
