The upcoming Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun starring hip-hop impresario Sean Combs has found his two co-stars: Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad.

McDonald, a three-time Tony Award winner, will portray Ruth Younger, the wife of Combs' character, Walter Younger. Rashad will play the matriarch in this family drama about the hopes and dreams of a black family on Chicago's South Side trying to move into a white neighborhood.

A Raisin in the Sun, first seen in New York in 1959 with Sidney Poitier, Claudia MacNeil and Ruby Dee in the leading roles, will be Combs' theatrical debut. Dates and theater are to be announced. Kenny Leon will direct.

McDonald won Tonys for her performances in Ragtime, Master Class and the Lincoln Center Theater revival of Carousel. Rashad (left) is best known for her television appearances on The Cosby Show and Cosby.
