We told you last August that a revival of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire was making its way to the Great White Way. Now comes the announcement that the production will make its home at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre later this Spring. The show will star Blair Underwood and Nicole Ari Parker.
Set against the backdrop of New Orleans’ gritty French Quarter, Streetcar tells the tale of former school teacher and socialite Blanche DuBois, as she’s forced to move in with her sister Stella and her animalistic husband Stanley. But the fragile, Blanche quickly gets a gritty life lesson in the seamy, steamy underbelly of 1940′s New Orleans.
A Streetcar Named Desire originally debuted on Broadway in 1947 starring then virtual unknowns Marlon Brando and Jessica Tandy. It has been revived on the Great White Way several times since, most recently in 2005 starring John C. Reilly and the late Natasha Richardson.
While no firm dates have been set for A Streetcar Named Desire, you can be sure that we’ll have that information for you when it becomes available.
And that’s today’s ShowBus Buzz. We’ll be back early next week with our next blog update. Please join us then.
