Leave it up to the beloved 'New York Post' to raise a few eyebrows throughout the day -- every single day.

The sensational daily tabloid published a sensational report about a sensational version of Tennessee Williams' remarkable play 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' -- with an all black cast -- that recently hit the skids.

"A Broadway revival of 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' with an all-black cast headed by Oscar winner Forest Whitaker as Big Daddy has imploded - the result, theater sources say, of "inexperienced, inept and insane" producing," reported the paper's theater insider Michael Riedel.

"The revival, which was to have opened in the fall, would also have starred Phylicia Rashad (Big Mamma), Audra McDonald (Maggie) and Anthony Mackie (Brick)," he continued. "It was to have been directed by Kenny Leon, who staged the hit production of 'A Raisin in the Sun' starring Sean Combs."

Far fetched huh?

Well, 'American Idol' winner Fantasia Barrino did rake in six million dollars worth of ticket sales for 'The Color Purple' -- before she even hit the stage.

So anything's possible on The Great White Way.

And because the picture of black people not-being-able-to-get-along is always painted -- particularly in the 'Post' -- there's more to the story.

"Whitaker, says a source, was annoyed to learn that the producers, tired of waiting for him to sign his contract, were threatening to replace him with Danny Glover."

Want some more craziness?

"Leon, meanwhile, was fuming that the producers were second-guessing his casting," Reidel reported. "They called McDonald a "regional theater actress" (her four Tony Awards notwithstanding) and were trying to replace her with either Whitney Houston or Beyoncé."

Madness.

"It was just insane stuff," a "source" was quoted as saying, adding. "Beyoncé might look good in a slip, but then she has to act. They couldn't grasp that."

Insanity.

"The producers could not be reached for comment yesterday," the article continued. "But sources say they haven't given up on the revival, and have now turned to choreographer Debbie Allen - Rashad's sister - to direct."

Ummmmmmmm, okay.

"Everybody's glad to be out of it," another "person" is attributed as saying. "It's a mess."

Out before they were even in.

Love that.
