The Once and Future King of Broadway?

It’s hard to get any more Broadway than Neil Simon – the celebrated playwright remains the only living writer to have a Broadway theater named after him, and this season, no fewer than three Simon revivals are playing New York’s biggest stages. So it’s easy to forget that it took Simon decades to achieve critical acclaim, and even longer to win the Pulitzer he so coveted. At 78, two years removed from a kidney transplant, Simon is still working, planning a sequel to The Sunshine Boys and turning his autobiography into a stage play.
