The entire cast of the Tony Award-winning revival of Lorraine Hansberry's play as well as stage director Kenny Leon are on board for the ABC project, Zap2it.com reported Tuesday.

The play about a black family living on Chicago's South Side was the first Broadway show by an African-American woman. The original 1959 cast, including Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Louis Gossett Jr., reprised their roles in 1961 for Hollywood's big screen adaptation of the play.
