Roger Moore becomes the first secret celebrity to star in new Broadway play

Roger Moore, the third James Bond, was the first secret celebrity guest star in Broadway`s "The Play What I Wrote".

Kenneth Branagh directs the work of Hamish McColl, Sean Foley and Eddie Braben, featuring actors McColl and Foley and Toby Jones on stage. The 2002 Olivier Award winning play "revolves around Hamish, who no longer wants to be part of his comedy double act with Sean," according to production notes. "Instead, he wants to see the play he has written, A Tight Squeeze for the Scarlet Pimple, properly mounted on the Broadway stage. But before this can happen, he needs a major star to play the supporting role to his lead role."

The USA suprise appearence follows a special guest spot in the West End (UK), where those making special appearances as themselves included Ralph Fiennes, Ian McKellen, Jerry Hall, Sting and Ewan McGregor, among others.

The identity of the nightly guest will be a tightly guarded secret.
