Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Contrary to popular opinion, giants still walk that tired, old corner of the earth called Broadway. Times being what they are, these giants are often penned into cramped quarters, which prevent them from stretching to their full height. But giants of the theater belong to a magnificent species that is fast disappearing. And when one shows up in your neighborhood, you polish your eyeglasses and go for a look. "

WALL STREET JOURNAL REVIEW:

"Everybody I know who saw the 1987 Off-Broadway production of Alfred Uhry's "Driving Miss Daisy" remembers it with awe and affection, and agrees that the cast—Morgan Freeman, Dana Ivey and Ray Gill—couldn't be bettered. If you're one of those lucky folk, I suggest that you head straight for Broadway, where James Earl Jones, Vanessa Redgrave and Boyd Gaines are proving that when it comes to great acting, nobody ever has the last word."

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:

"Sometimes massive, earthshaking events require — even demand — that they be depicted on stage with an equally vast canvas. And sometimes all you need is a can of salmon."

BACKSTAGE REVIEW:

"It seemed like such a good idea on paper: Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones in "Driving Miss Daisy." When the excellent Boyd Gaines was announced to complete the three-person cast of Alfred Uhry's Pulitzer Prize–winning 1987 drama, the project sounded even more promising. "

USA TODAY REVIEW:

"We tend to associate actors such as James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave with characters of a certain stature. Othello and Cleopatra, Tennessee Williams' Big Daddy and Eugene O'Neill's Mary Tyrone are among the epic figures that have lured these living legends to the New York stage."
