After months of speculation, the cast of the London West End production of the all-black version of Tennessee Williams 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,' has been announced.
To be expected, Emmy Award-winning actress/choreographer Debbie Allen will resume her role as director of the show, which opened to rave reviews and sold-out performances. Her sister, Phylicia Rashad, who is currently on Broadway in 'August: Osage County,' will return as Big Mama alongside fellow Tony Award winner James Earl Jones who reprise his role as Big Daddy.
Taking over as Maggie and Brick for 'Dreamgirls' star Anika Noni Rose and Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard will be new additions: 'A Raisin in the Sun' Tony Award nominee Sanaa Lathan and Britain's Adrian Lester of 'Girlfriends' fame.
Additional casting will be announced in the coming weeks.
Although previews will begin at the Novello Theatre on November 21, 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' will formally open on December 1. Tickets for 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' will go on sale beginning June 8 at the Novello Theatre Box Office.

I agree with you, she is not a sister, and brothers always running to women of other cultures, and they want to know why we have so much attitude, go figure...........

request any unsealed document they want, and make as many photocopies as they wish. Moreover, even if documents weren't public, the courts would likely still be transitioning to an electronic system for their internal use.

So this means that the only additional cost of PACER, beyond the activities the courts would be doing anyway
