Johansson Pounces as Maggie the Cat on Broadway: Review

Don’t be lulled by Scarlett Johansson’s steamy come-hither look on the posters for “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Her Maggie the Cat is more tigress than the kitty so often portrayed in this role.

This gutsy production pairs the sultry star with the equally sizzling Benjamin Walker (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”) as her dissolute, disinterested husband Brick in Rob Ashford’s Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’s 1955 Pulitzer winner.
