Why are Cat On A Hot Tin Roof tickets selling like hot cakes? It’s not because you’ll see a cute and chubby little cat on the stage. Neither are there any animals on the show! This is a simple and common story of a Pollitt family who are overshadowed by the clouds of rivalries and misunderstandings. However, what makes the story uncommon is the way its entire theme is portrayed.
Previewed on February 12, 2008 and opened on March 6 at the Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre, this play is all African-American depiction of family life. Debbie Allen has debuted as the director on Broadway through this play.
Allen is known for her impeccable direction of several TV shows like “Everybody Hates Chris”, “Girlfriends”, “A Different World”, and “That’s So Raven.” Besides this, Allen has also acted in shows like “Sweet Charity”, “West Side Story”, “Ain’t Misbehavin”, and “Raisin.” Her performances have bagged her two Tony nominations. Her role of Lydia Grant in the TV show “Fame” had made her a star and lent her three Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe!
It’s no wonder that Cat On A Hot Tin Roof tickets have become one of the hottest commodities in town since it opened! The play is set in the background of a plantation house in Mississippi. The occasion is 65th birthday of the patriarch of the Pollitt family – Big Daddy. He’s a tycoon, plus he has cancer!
That he is not gonna see his next birthday has been kept a secret from him. The entire family knows this. And each one has made their own plans to impress the Big Daddy on his birthday so that he can write off a substantial share of wealth in their names.
There is another side to the story, which portrays a sour relationship between a husband and wife. The husband is Brick Pollit, who is a fading football star. The wife is Maggie “The Cat” who had escaped from a dark childhood to marry into the affluent Politt family. However, her marriage has everything except love! On the occasion of Big Daddy’s birthday, the husband and wife duo interact with all the members of the Pollitt family.
How each one lies to one another is worth a watch. The Doctor and the whole family lies to Big Daddy. Big Daddy lies to Big Mamma. Brick lies to Maggie. Other members lie to each other. This creates a lot of misunderstanding amongst all. Hidden rivalries also come to light on the occasion.
