Summary

• Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will be revived on Broadway in spring 2027
• Tony Award winner Sam Gold will direct
• Tennessee Williams's classic drama follows a dysfunctional Mississippi family reuniting for their patriarch's 65th birthday

Tony Award winner Sam Gold will direct a new production of Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway in spring 2027, with exact dates, a theatre, and cast and additional creative team members to be announced.

The show reunites Gold with the production company Seaview, who together mounted recent Broadway revivals of An Enemy of the People starring Jeremy Strong and Romeo + Juliet starring Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler.

Williams's play centers on a dysfunctional Mississippi family whose secrets, greed, and desire boil over when they reunite for patriarch "Big Daddy"'s 65th birthday, laying bare the lies they've all long told themselves. The 2027 production will mark the play's first Broadway return in 14 years.

“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the pinnacle of what the theatre can do. Two of the greatest roles for actors in the canon, delivered to us by the world’s most original playwright, at the very height of his poetic powers, exploring themes that feel as shockingly honest and blood-boiling today as they did 70 years ago,” Gold said in a statement. “I couldn't be more excited to bring this masterpiece back to New York next season.”
