Long before “Modern Family,” there was the Sycamore family. 

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, one of the most popular comedies in America is back—with a hilarious ensemble cast ready to light up Broadway.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning, uproarious family affair is led by the legendary James Earl Jones, and features an outrageous cast of 20, including Golden Globe® nominee Rose Byrne (Neighbors, Bridesmaids), Tony Award® nominee Kristine Nielsen (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike), Tony Award® nominee Annaleigh Ashford (Kinky Boots, Masters of Sex) and Tony Award® winner Elizabeth Ashley. Ballet Dancers, Snake Charmers, Skyrocket Makers, Cunning Revolutionaries, Xylophone Players, Wall Street Tycoons, G-Men and Russian Royalty.

AT LAST, THE BROADWAY COMEDY WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

Reviews

  • The only downside to the unconditional upper called You Can’t Take It With You, which wafted open last night at the Longacre Theater, is that it may strain previously underused muscles around your mouth. That can happen when you spend two-and-a-half hours grinning like an idiot...

    ----New York Times
  • This is definitely old-fashioned Broadway entertainment, but in the hands of Ellis and his fine cast, it's consistently pleasurable. "Life is kind of beautiful if you let it come to you," suggests Grandpa, and indeed, the gentle radicalism of that tenet is hard to dispute.

    ------The Hollywood Reporter
  • Rarely have I seen such a large collection of scene-stealers on one stage. Check that. There's so much hilarity occurring that no one can steal a complete scene. What these thieving actors do is steal extended moments. They make off with eye-popping sequences that have been carefully focused by Ellis, whose contribution here is impeccable.
