Denzel is returning to N.Y. stage in 'Fences'

Get ready for another big name on Broadway: Denzel Washington plans to return to the New York stage next spring in a revival of August Wilson's "Fences."

Producers Carole Shorenstein Hays and Scott Rudin say the play will open in April at a theater to be announced. The original 1987 production won both the Tony Award for best play and the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

Washington was last on Broadway in 2005 in a revival of "Julius Caesar," in which he played Brutus.
