Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: Give the Summer Company an A for ambition in tackling Tennessee Williams' masterful Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The 1955 Pulitzer Prize-winner is still a sizzler, with words one does not use in polite company even after decades of Williams' tweaks and revisions. Alas, this romp through the Seven Deadly Sins (avarice, lust, envy, greed, pride, sloth and gluttony, for those keeping score) is less sultry, more desultory.

I saw this production on Broadway this past winter and it was absolutely amazing. Scar-Joe was incredible as she played the fierce, yet suffering protagonist. Its hard to believe someone with less acting experience being able to pull off this arduous roll. Maybe it is because I do theatre design and production, but I absolutely LOVED the set on Broadway. There were many components but the color scheme, the large furniture, wall detail, and mirrors really made the scenes come alive, not to mention the design was REALLY elegant. Because this play takes place pretty much in one room I could imagine a more simple set, but that does not seem as fun or entertaining as a more elaborate set.
