AT LAST, THE BROADWAY COMEDY WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, one of the most popular comedies in America is back-with a hilarious ensemble cast ready to light up Broadway.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning, uproarious family affair is led by the legendary James Earl Jones, and features an outrageous cast of 20, including Golden Globe nominee Rose Byrne (Neighbors, Bridesmaids), Tony Award nominee Kristine Nielsen (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike), Tony Award nominee Annaleigh Ashford (Kinky Boots, Masters of Sex) and Tony Award winner Elizabeth Ashley.
Long before "Modern Family," there was the Sycamore family. Now playing at the Longacre Theatre, you can join this madcap clan as they live, love and laugh in an evening sure to end up with fireworks. Don't let them light the fuse without you!
A lot of shows can make you laugh. What's rare is a play that makes you beam from curtain to curtain. Such is the effect of Scott Ellis's felicitous revival of Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's 1936 comedy about one improbably happy family during the Great Depression...The evening's tone is set and sustained by Mr. Jones and Ms. Nielsen, who waltz through the show with the secret but infectious smiles of people listening to unheard, endorphin-boosting strains.
Masterful the blueprint may be, but a weak ensemble and tin-eared direction can screw it up. But this revival (the first in more than 30 years) is stuffed with the city's finest comic talents. Besides the aforementioned pros, marvelous Reg Rogers lopes around the periphery as a raffish Russian dance teacher, while Julie Halston stops the show as a dipsomaniacal stage hack Penny brings home. Scott Ellis conducts the escalating craziness with style and grace on David Rockwell's perfectly cluttered, eclectic living-room set. The Sycamores will welcome literally anyone into the family: It's hard to resist running away to join their circus.
