A revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is coming to Broadway next season.
Sam Gold, the Tony Award-winning director of Fun Home and Macbeth, is attached to direct. Casting and exact dates have not yet been announced, but the plan is to bring the revival to Broadway in spring 2027.
The news comes as Broadway production company Seaview announced the acquisition of the revival rights from the new custodians of the Tennessee Williams estate. International Literary Properties took on the role after entering into a strategic partnership with The University of the South in 2025.
The last Broadway revival of the play was in 2013, starring Scarlett Johansson and Benjamin Walker. Premiering in 1955, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play follows a wealthy southern family competing for the dying patriarch’s inheritance.
This will be the third collaboration between Seaview and Gold, after An Enemy of the People with Jeremy Strong and Romeo + Juliet with Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor. Gold directed a Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie in 2017.
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the pinnacle of what the theatre can do. Two of the greatest roles for actors in the cannon, 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. “I couldn’t be more excited to bring this masterpiece back to New York next season.”
“It’s been such a gift to be making work with Sam Gold over the last four years,” said Greg Nobile, Seaview’s co-founder and CEO. “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will mark our fifth production together, and I am certain Sam’s vision to bring Tennessee’s extraordinary and timeless characters to life next season will once again thrill and delight audiences.”
