Tickets Now Available to See Broadway Premiere of August Wilson's Jitney

Tickets are now on sale for the Broadway premiere of Jitney, the only work from August Wilson’s American Century Cycle yet to play the Main Stem. Directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, the Manhattan Theatre Club production will begin performances at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on December 28, with opening night scheduled for January 19, 2017.

The play follows a group of unlicensed cab drivers as the city’s efforts to shut down the business threaten to drive them apart. Santiago-Hudson won a Tony for his performance in Wilson’s Seven Guitars; he also appeared in Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean on Broadway and directed his The Piano Lesson off-Broadway.

The cast and creative team will be announced at a later date.
