Get ready for another big name on the bright lights of Broadway. Denzel Washington will return the New York stage next spring in a revival of August Wilson’s award-winning production Fences. The two-time Oscar winner has been cast as patriarch Troy Maxson.

According to show producers Carole Shorenstein Hays and Scott Rudin, Fences will open in April at a theater to be announced. The play will be directed by Kenny Leon, who directed Wilson’s “Radio Golf” and “Gem of the Ocean” on Broadway.

The original 1987 production starred James Earl Jones, Mary Alice, and Courtney B. Vance. It won both the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Denzel last appeared on New York’s Great White Way in the 2005 revival of “Julius Caesar,” in which he played Brutus.
