Roundabout Theatre Company will present a new Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams's The Rose Tattoo, starring Marisa Tomei as Serafina, beginning September 19 at the American Airlines Theatre. Trip Cullman's production will open October 15 and will run through December 8.

Cullman first directed Tomei in the role during the 2016 Williamstown Theatre Festival. The play follows a grieving widow who rekindles her desire for love and life when she meets a hot-blodded trucker.

Additional details about The Rose Tattoo will be announced in the coming months. The Williamstown production had a company that also included Christopher Abbott, Lindsay Mendez, Portia, and Constance Shulman, among others.
