Tickets Now On Sale to See Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones in Driving Miss Daisy

One of the most beloved plays of the past quarter century is headed to Broadway with a cast that’s not to be missed: Tickets are now available for Alfred Uhry’s Driving Miss Daisy, starring Tony Award winners Vanessa Redgrave, James Earl Jones and Boyd Gaines. A 16-week limited engagement is set to begin on October 7 at the Golden Theatre, with opening night on October 25, directed by David Esbjornson.

This timeless comedy charts the relationship between Daisy Werthan (Redgrave), a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman in midcentury Atlanta, and Hoke Colburn (Jones), the African-American man hired by her son, Boolie (Gaines), as Daisy’s chauffeur. Over the course of the next 25 years, a relationship that begins in hostility blossoms into a profound friendship.

After a 1987 off-Broadway premiere production that ran for more than three years, Driving Miss Daisy was adapted into a hit movie version that won four 1990 Oscars, including Best Picture. The Broadway production of this irresistible play is sure to become one of the fall season’s hottest tickets, so book your seats today!
