Broadway is a character from the Disney animated television series, Gargoyles. He is one of the rookery trio, the other two being Brooklyn and Lexington, and a member of the Manhattan Clan.
Background
Physical Description
Broadway is an obese, heavyset gargoyle with teal skin and forest green webbing in his wings. He wears a dark blue loincloth held up by a black belt and, unlike the other gargoyles, he has fin-like ears.
Personality
Broadway is happy-go-lucky and enjoys eating. He tries to lighten the mood of his clan when they are depressed and finds the bright side of things. He falls in love with Angela over the course of the series. He, along with Brooklyn and Lexington, are reminiscent of The Three Stooges.
One time while visiting Elisa, Broadway found her gun and imitated gunslingers that he had seen in a detective film, but accidentally shot and wounded Elisa in the process. Although she survived, Broadway has since developed a deep dislike of guns and took it upon himself to destroy any firearm he found.
Broadway's enjoyment of eating couples with his love for movies, particularly detective films, which led to him partnering up with Elisa on a few rare occasions. He also learned to enjoy reading after a confrontation with Macbeth and the scrolls of Merlin. Out of all the gargoyles, Broadway (after Goliath) seems to have the closest friendship with Elisa.
Future Tense
In the "Future Tense" illusion, Broadway was blind, having lost his eyes in the resistance against Xanatos. He eventually died after an attack by the Thailog Shock Troops.
Trivia
- Broadway's human form was the only form to include blond hair.
- He is very similar to Tummi Gummi from Gummi Bears, Rolly from the 101 Dalmatians franchise, Heimlich from A Bug's Life, and Budderball from the Air Buddies series, as all five love food and have gluttonous appetites.
