Posted: 9/20/12 at 10:56amHmm, interesting! I'm excited to see Debra Monk onstage again. And the more I think about it, the more I think Benjamin Walker could be pretty fantastic.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 10:59amI like Ciaran Hinds, but my heart wished for John Goodman.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 11:04amWow! This cast is fantastic, incredibly electric and everybody is perfectly cast in their role. Benjamin Walker is a much better choice than someone as bland as Chris Pine, and having a seasoned stage actor alongside Johansson will bring out the best in her (it reminds me of when they got Liev Schreiber and Jessica Hecht to co-star with her in A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE). This is the must-see production of the season for me, will definitely start booking my trip to NY ASAP.

I don't know who Hinds is. I love Benjamin Walker but he seems awfully young for Brick. (I did want Goodman, too, Kad. I love him and Big Daddy is the best written role in the play.)
Debra Monk is PERFECT as Big Mama.
This cast looks decent.

Ooh. I love Hinds. I didn't know he did stagework though.
He was in Harry Potter, In Bruges, Game of Thrones, Political Animals, The Road to Perdition, The Phantom movie, etc.

Walker is two years older than Johansson, I think they'll work together just fine.
Hinds played the Bill Clinton stand-in character in POLITICAL ANIMALS as a Big Daddy type, a terrible choice for that show but it bodes really well for this revival.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 11:21amAren't Brick and Maggie supposed to be in their mid-20's? For some reason, the age 26 is stuck in my mind.

He did The Seafarer several years back.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 12:08pmI love it, but I feel like this show gets revived too often.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 12:08pm@Kad -- Now that you've said John Goodman, I can't see anyone else in the role.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 12:17pmGoodman played the role in LA several years ago, and his notices were very mixed.

Wow...so this is the third revival of Cat of a Hot Tin Roof to be on Broadway in less than a decade.
I love Tennessee Williams and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I will definitely be seeing this production...but I think there are other works of his that I would rather see a revival of like Orpheus Descending, The Night of the Iguana, Small Craft Warnings, Summer and Smoke, Suddenly Last Summer or The Rose Tattoo.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 12:25pmGoddammit. I was totally going to pass on this because of Johansson, because I thought she was pretty bad in A View From the Bridge, but Walker is too good to pass up.

Posted: 9/20/12 at 12:29pmI am very excited for this. I like Hinds a lot but I can't picture him in the role.
