Chris Rock Talks MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT

ABC's Harry Smith recently sat down and spoke with comedian Chris Rock who is currently making his Broadway stage debut in the play THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT.

"Now I realize how big Broadway is," said Rock. "In the last four months, I'm like wow, they just don't let anybody do this."

The world premiere of Stephen Adly Guirgis' new play THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT, starring Bobby Cannavale, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Annabella Sciorra and Yul Vázquez, directed by Anna D. Shapiro, opens on Monday, April 11, 2011 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

The strictly limited 15-week engagement began previews on Tuesday, March 15, 2011. 

THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT is a new high-octane, verbal cage match about love, fidelity, and misplaced haberdashery from playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Jackie (Cannavale) and Veronica (Rodriguez) have been in love since the 8th grade. But now, Jackie is on parole and living clean and sober under the guidance of his sponsor, Ralph D (Rock), while still living and loving with his volatile soul mate Veronica (Sciorra) who is fiercely loving, but far from sober. Still, their love is pure. And true. Nothing can come between them - except a hat.

The creative team includes scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Mimi O'Donnelland lighting design by Donald Holder.
