The current Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof has recouped its $2.1 million investment. The show, which is directed by Debbie Allen, will continue at the Broadhurst Theater through June 22.
The production stars Terrence Howard, James Earl Jones, Phlyicia Rashad, and Anika Noni Rose, 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. Jones won the Tony Award for The Great White Hope. 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.
