Scarlett Johansson to return to Broadway

Johansson to make stage return

Scarlett Johansson will return to Broadway at the end of the year to play Tennessee Williams' Maggie the Cat in a revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Newsday's Linda Winer reports. Although a spokesperson for the production refused to comment yesterday, director Rob Ashford confirmed in an interview with Broadway.com that previews will begin later this year for a January opening. In 2010, Johansson won the Tony award as best featured actress for her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge," starring Liev Schreiber.
