Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick Have Hit the Broadway Stage—& Their 3 Kids Made a Rare Appearance at Opening Night

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's kids are ready for their close-up.

Earlier this week, all three of their children, James Wilke Broderick, 19, and 12-year-old twins Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick stepped out on the red carpet to support their parents on the opening night of the Broadway revival of Plaza Suite. And as we'd expect, the siblings looked chic and all grown up as they posed for pics outside the theater. James looked sharp in a black suit and tie, while Tabitha donned a trendy black leather number and Marion wore a baby pink tulle tress.

This rare appearance comes nearly four years after the three siblings joined their parents for the Broadway opening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. At the time, Parker documented the car ride over to the theater by sharing a video clip and wrote, "Yipee! On our way to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the whole family gets to go and cheer for our dear @scottwittman and @marc_shaiman."

For the occasion, Parker and her daughters turned heads in their colorful coats and dresses, while Broderick and his son wore ties.

Although the couple's children are often kept out of the spotlight, they've made a few appearances on Parker's Instagram page. For instance, in September 2021, the proud mom shared a heartfelt post about watching her kids grow and become independent. In her poetic caption, she wrote, "In the span of 7 days. One crosses the threshold into his freshman year of college. The other 2 into 7th grade. The house is different. We are different. They need us more. And far less. So many know. Gutted at the time passed. Passing. Exhilarated by the possibilities that await them. The love. The love. The love. X, SJ."

In the comments, fellow celebs offered their support. Ali Wentworth said, “The kitchen table seems too big…holding your hand Mama! Off they soar!” Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon commented, “Beautifully said.”

Here's hoping we'll see more rare snaps of SJP's kids on her feed (or even better, at future red carpet events).
