The Motherf**ker With The Hat, a play by Stephen Adly Guirgis. at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, starring Bobby Cannavale, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Annabella Sciorra, Yul Valquez. In what has to be the best Broadway season for new plays and revivals in many years, The Motherf**ker With The Hat is a stand out. Running just 100 minutes, this wickedly entertaining play is a searing look at broken lives, lies, and the determination of people who have hit bottom to persevere, to survive, and to love. The star of the show is Bobby Cannavale in a performance that in any other year would be a lock for a Tony, but he will probably have to be satisfied with a nomination in this great season. Chris Rock is very fine in a complex role in which he is sometimes a savior, often a devil and always a master manipulator. The women are terrific, Annabella Sciorra has a heartbreaking scene with Cannavale, but the powerful and vivid Elizabeth Rodriguez, a sexy, smoldering, beauty, almost walks off with the show. She shouts herself raw both emotionally and vocally. The play is superbly constructed, and the direction by Anna D. Shapiro is flawless. Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test Grade A.
