*Tony Award winners Diahann Carroll and Denzel Washington will play mother and son on Broadway in a spring revival of the classic American play “A Raisin in the Sun,” an opportunity they are both happy about.
“I think it’s one of our most original plays and I think that’s why it keeps coming back,” said Carroll. Washington, agreed: “It’s one of those classics.”
The play will begin previews March 8 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre and opening night will be April 3. Kenny Leon, who directed Washington on Broadway to a Tony in “Fences,” will helm the production.
Both Carroll and Washington admitted to the Associated Press about having a few reservations about doing an eight-show week. This is Carroll’s return to Broadway after 30 years but “once you’re into the flow of it, it becomes a life style.” Washington, who is currently filming “The Equalizer,” said theater and film were both tests of endurance.
