Tickets Now Available for Broadway Revival of The Gin Game, Starring Tony Winners James Earl Jones & Cicely Tyson

Tickets are now on sale to see the return of two legends to the Great White Way. Tony winners James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson are set to star in the Broadway revival of D.L. Coburn’s The Gin Game, which will begin previews on September 18. Opening night is scheduled for October 13 at the Golden Theatre.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning play follows Weller Martin (Jones) and Fonsia Dorsey (Tyson), who meet on the porch of their nursing home and strike up a friendship as Weller teaches Fonsia how to play gin rummy. As they play, they share stories about the lives they led in the outside world. But when Fonsia wins every hand, Weller becomes increasingly frustrated. Soon, their gin games and conversations become a battleground, with each player exposing the other’s failures, disappointments and insecurities.

Directed by Leonard Foglia, The Gin Game will feature sets and costumes by Riccardo Hernandez, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer and sound design by David Van Tieghem.
