WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Producer Bill Kenwright and director Anthony Page, the Tony Award-winning team of the Broadway revival of Ibsen's A Doll's House, bring to Broadway a new production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for a limited engagement. The production stars Ashely Judd as Maggie, Jason Patric as Brick, and Ned Beatty as Big Daddy.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of sibling rivalry, set on a Mississippi plantation as a Southern family gather for the 65th birthday of Big Daddy, its ailing patriarch. Brick is the youngest son, who along with his wife, Maggie, scheme against his brother and Big Daddy's favorite for the inheritance of the family estate.
PLEASE NOTE: for the Wednesday matinees on February 25, March 3 and March 10, the role of Maggie will be played by Kelly McAndrew.

Looking for a large dose of invigorating acting? A jaw-dropping example is the second act of Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as restaged with wounding elegance by Anthony Page. Big Daddy, played as valiantly vulgar by Ned Beatty, is trying to get his near-catatonic son Brick, played with surpassing subtlety by Jason Patric, to face the reasons for his having given himself over to alcoholic isolation.
