Welcome back to Broadway, Sycamores! You Can’t Take It With You has returned to the Great White Way and celebrates its official opening night at the Longacre Theatre on September 28. The Scott Ellis-helmed production features an all-star cast that includes James Earl Jones, Rose Byrne and Annaleigh Ashford. To commemorate the latest Broadway mounting of the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart comedy, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the Sycamore clan and company in action.
In addition to Jones, Byrne and Ashford, the portrait features Elizabeth Ashley, Johanna Day, Julie Halston, Byron Jennings, Fran Kranz, Mark Linn-Baker, Kristine Nielsen, Reg Rogers, Will Brill, Crystal Dickinson, Marc Damon Johnson, Karl Kenzler and Patrick Kerr, along with a surreptitious Nick Corley, Joe Tapper and Austin Durant.
Happy opening to the (huge) cast of You Can’t Take It With You! Enjoy the pickled pigs’ feet!
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
