Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Broadway is a Saga of Emotions

By: Al Terry

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Broadway is the newest product of Tennessee Williams. This time he has dug into his own life to bring out issues of illness, rivalry, and homosexuality prevalent in the southern society that’s on the verge of decay.

Beautifully directed by Debbie Allen, who has debuted as a director on Broadway through this show, this play shows the loveless marriage of Brick Pollitt and Maggie “The Cat”; the birthday of Big Daddy and his diagnosis of cancer; and the competition between each family member to get a bigger share of the family wealth.

What amuses the audience in the show Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Broadway is that everybody in the family lies to each other. Big Daddy lies to Big Mamma. The doctor and the whole family lie to Big Daddy about his cancer. Brick lies to Maggie and so on.

Tennessee Williams has once again been successful in touching the hearts of a large number of people through his larger than life depiction of truth. He is the same writer who has rendered super hits on Broadway such as “Hairspray”, “The Producers”, “Young Frankenstein”, and “Annie.” He is among the 7 playwrights of the world who have received more than one Pulitzer Prize award for their works.

Indeed, it’s an honor to watch a show by such a renowned creative artist! There’s no doubt that Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Broadway has stirred the box office since the day it opened on March 6, 2008 at the Broadhurst Theatre of Broadway.

Whether it’s the character of the “desperate housewife” Maggie, or her indifferent husband Brick Pollitt, or the tycoon Big Daddy, each one has the power to spellbind the audience. And this is not the case with just the new version of the show. The debut version of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Broadway in 1955 created the same effect on the audience. Such was the impact of the show that three years after that, a movie version under the same name was produced in 1958 by MGM.

It wasn’t an easy task for Williams to express the emotions of each character in words, especially the character of Brick who goes into depression after the death of his friend, Skipper.

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Broadway is a play of emotions, both negative and positive. It not only entertains, but also awakens the audience to the harsh realities of Southern society.
