Great Escape: A 'Golden' Opportunity

Last chance to see James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave in "Driving Miss Daisy" on Broadway

Every now and then, the stars of stage and screen team up to excite audiences lucky enough to see them play on stage.

So when Little Neck Patch found out that both James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave were starring in the cinema classic “Driving Miss Daisy” on Broadway until April 9, it was clear what this week’s Great Escape would be — a trip to the Golden Theatre in Manhattan to see this blockbuster film in it's first run on Broadway.

Written by Alfred Uhry, Driving Miss Daisy is a timeless play that  relives the story of an enduring friendship that finds its way out of bigotry and on to the stage.
