The marquee is up for THE MOUNTAINTOP, beginning performances on September 22, 2011 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre and officially opening on Thursday, October 13, 2011. BroadwayWorld brings you photos below!

The Mountaintop by Katori Hall, stars Samuel L. Jackson as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Angela Bassett, and is directed by Tony Award® nominee Kenny Leon (Fences, A Raisin in the Sun).

Taking place on April 3, 1968, The Mountaintop is a gripping reimagining of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader DR. Martin Luther King, Jr. After delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King (Samuel L. Jackson) retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger (Angela Bassett) arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.
