Rock-Cannavale play extended on B'way

NEW YORK, May 12 (UPI) -- The producers of "The Motherf**ker with the Hat" said the limited engagement of the Broadway production of Stephen Adly Guirgis' play has been extended.

Starring Bobby Cannavale, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Annabella Sciorra and Yul Vazquez, the show is now scheduled to play through July 17 at Manhattan's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, the stage comedy opened April 11 and has since been nominated for six Tony Awards, including one for Best Play.

"Mother" is described in press notes as "a new high-octane, verbal cage match about love, fidelity and misplaced haberdashery."
