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!
At times the stage is so crowded that you're not sure where to look - David Rockwell's busy set, covered with dozens and dozens of framed pictures, doesn't help. But no matter where the eye wanders, something wacky is happening. It could be Julie Halston emerging from a drunken slumber. Or Ashford clumsily standing en pointe. Or Nielsen rolling her eyes as she lifts a (real live) kitten from her typing-paper supply. Clearly, too much of a good thing is just right.
Rarely have I seen such a large collection of scene-stealers on one stage. Check that. There's so much hilarity occurring that no one can steal a complete scene. What these thieving actors do is steal extended moments. They make off with eye-popping sequences that have been carefully focused by Ellis, whose contribution here is impeccable.
