If you're gonna do a much-revived classic, you might as well get a stellar cast. That's exactly what director Debbie Allen has done for the all-African American version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which will be revived on Broadway next year.
Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard will join Tony Award winners Anika Noni Rose, Phylicia Rashad and James Earl Jones in the Tennessee Williams play. The show will open March 6, 2008 at the Broadhurst Theater.
Howard (Hustle and Flow) will play Brick in the production, with Rose (Dreamgirls, Caroline or Change) taking on the role of Maggie, which, of course, was made famous in the film version by Elizabeth Taylor. Rashad (who is currently appearing in Cymbeline at Lincoln Center Theater) and Jones (Fences)will play Big Mama and Big Daddy.
Tickets for the production go on sale December 29.
