WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated for the Tony Award for Best Costume Design!
This season, desire is taking on a whole new rhythm as the greatest play from America's most celebrated playwright sizzles onto the stage at The Broadhurst Theatre.
From the producers of the trailblazing 2008 Broadway production of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, comes a hot new take on Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire. Leading the cast is 2-time Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood, in his Broadway debut as Stanley Kowalski, Nicole Ari Parker ("Soul Food") as Blanche DuBois, Daphne Rubin-Vega (Rent) as Stella Kowalski and Wood Harris ("The Wire") as Mitch. Directed by Emily Mann (Artistic Director of Princeton's esteemed McCarter Theatre) and featuring an original score by 5-time Grammy Award winner Terence Blanchard, this scintillating Streetcar brings a whole new rhythm to Williams's enduring portrait of sex, class and secrets in one of America's most fascinating and diverse cities. Come and feel the heat.

Nicole Ari Parker and Blair Underwood deliver outstanding performances in the latest Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire at the Broadhurst Theatre. Director Emily Mann's production utilizes actors of various ethnicities in major roles, departing from tradition in a way that works amazingly well.
This is not simply a case of color-blind casting where the audience is supposed to ignore the discrepancy between the race of the character and the performer portraying him or her. With African-American actor Underwood playing Stanley, the character's last name of "Kowalski" has been dropped, as have references to his being Polish.
