WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Debbie Allen directs an African- American production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Hypocrisy, greed, and secret passions threaten to tear apart a wealthy but dysfunctional Mississippi family in Williams' stunning American masterpiece. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof searingly portrays the larger-than-life characters of Maggie "the Cat," her alcoholic husband, Brick, and the dominating family patriarch, Big Daddy.
Boris Kodjoe will take over the role of Brick from Terrence Howard from April 15 to May 22.

Great
I recently saw the play with Boris Kodjoe playing the Terrence Howard part. I thought he did a great job. I love the chemistry with him and James Earl Jones. Although Anika Noni-Rose looked stunning I didnt enjoy her performance. But it is still a must see!

When it comes to Tennessee Williams' steamy
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, don't count on there ever being a definitive script. The forever-tinkering playwright regularly fiddled around with his coruscating blast at family lies, most famously for a 1974 revival to which he reintroduced previously deleted obscenities and jiggled the denouement.
It's primarily this script that director Debbie Allen is using for her authoritative, all-African-American production of the play, now at the Broadhurst, with a stellar cast led by Terrence Howard (in his stage debut) and Tony Award winners James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad, and Anika Noni Rose -- who ends up taking the fourth-from-last curtain call even t[...]
