Two more ride 'Streetcar'

Daphne Rubin-Vega and Wood Harris have signed onto the approaching Broadway revival of "A Streetcar Named Desire," joining topliners Nicole Ari Parker and Blair Underwood. Rubin Vega ("Rent," "Jack Goes Boating") will have Stella opposite Underwood as her husband Stanley, with Harris ("The Wire") aboard as Mitch, the mark suitor of southern belle Blanche (Parker). Multiracial "Streetcar" may be the second diverse-cast manufacture of a Tennessee Williams play from producer Stephen Byrd, whose 2008 revival of "Cat on the Hot Container Roof" -- which starred Anika Noni Rose, Terrence Howard, James Earl Johnson and Phylicia Rashad in Gotham -- did strong biz about the Rialto and continued to experience a West Finish run. "Streetcar" reteams Rubin-Vega with helmer Emily Mann, whose last Broadway pointing credit was the 2003 manufacture of "Anna within the Tropics," where the actress also made an appearance. New Orleans-based trumpeter Terrence Blanchard provides music for "Streetcar." Revival targets a spring opening in a theater to become determined. Contact Gordon Cox at gordon.cox@variety.com
