Chris Rock and Bobby Cannavale join the original Broadway cast as L.A. Theatre Works records The Motherf***er with the Hat. Stephen Adly Guirgis’ high-octane, Tony®-nominated, verbal cage match about love, fidelity and misplaced haberdashery is being produced by Susan A. Loewenberg.

Tony® nominees Cannavale, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Yul Vázquez; and Annabella Sciorra, are reuniting with Rock for the L.A. Theatre Works presentation which performs and records Thursday through Sunday, January 31 through February 3, 2013.
