DEBBIE ALLEN: Bringing Her Black ‘Cat’ to Broadway
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
It’s official.
Debbie Allen is coming back to Broadway.
It’s not as an actress (like with ‘Street Charity’) or a dancer (‘West Side Story’) though; it’s as director of an ambitious African-American spin on Tennessee Williams‘ classic ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.’
The BV Newswire has learned that the ‘Fame’ star will helm the much-buzzed about production, set to star performances the week of Feb. 11, 2008 at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre.
“I am thrilled to stand at the helm of this unique production as we navigate our way through Tennessee Williams’ riveting and explosive American classic,” Allen said. “Cat, said to be his favorite of his many plays, achieves a timeless coherence with its characters as they wrestle with the universal struggles of life, love, money, sex and death.”
