You Can’t Take It With You

Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

You Can’t Take It With You opened on Broadway at the Booth Theatre on December 14, 1936. A smash hit, the show ran for 838 performances and returned to Broadway five times, most recently in 2014. That production, directed by Scott Ellis, earned the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress for Annaleigh Ashford as Essie. 

“One of the most persuasive works of pure escapism in Broadway history.” – The New York Times

“Naïveté is this show’s oxygen and its strongest selling point, and Hart and Kaufman conjured it with master craftsmen’s shrewdness. A portrait of tax-dodging, rule-defying, work-evading, goodhearted folk who live only to please themselves and suffer no serious consequences, You Can’t Take It With You is one of the most persuasive works of pure escapism in Broadway history.” – The New York Times

“It's an over-the-top, old-fashioned comedy and feel-good crowd-pleaser.” – AM New York

Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble’s MainStage play, You Can’t Take It With You, will be performed November 3rd-12th at the Edna Hill Theatre in downtown Brentwood and is directed by Michael Wilson.
