Terrence Howard, Phylicia Rashad, and Anika Noni Rose, three of the stars of the current Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, received their caricatures at Sardi's restaurant on Thursday, May 8.

The show, which is directed by Debbie Allen, will continue at the Broadhurst Theater through June 22. The production also stars James Earl Jones -- who has already been honored by Sardi's -- along with Giancarlo Esposito, Lisa Arrindell Anderson, Lou Myers, and Count Stovall.

Williams' play searingly portrays a dysfunctional Southern family, including Maggie "the Cat," (Rose) her alcoholic husband, Brick (Howard), and his parents, the dominating family patriarch, Big Daddy (Jones), and his wife Big Mama (Rashad).

Howard, who is making his Broadway debut, currently stars in the film Iron Man. Rashad received the Tony Award for A Raisin in the Sun and has starred on Broadway in Cymbeline, Gem of the Ocean, and Jelly's Last Jam. Rose received the Tony for Caroline, or Change and co-starred in the film version of Dreamgirls.
