Terrence Howard out of Cat for Six Weeks

Is this Cat on a Hot Tin Roof revival cursed, or just plagued with lunacy and bad decisions? The whole thing strikes me as having a river of crazy running through it. Kenny Leon quit and was replaced by... Debbie Allen? And then they cast Terrence Howard, only to now have him leave the show for six weeks to go do a movie. He'll be out April 15-May 22nd, and the show's limited run ends on June 15th. Weird weird weird.
