Driving Miss Daisy

Driving Miss Daisy is a timeless American play, which inspired the Academy Award-winning film of the same name.

The story revolves around the decades-long relationship between a stubborn Southern matriarch and her compassionate chauffeur. Their iconic tale of pride, changing times and the transformative power of friendship has warmed the hearts of millions during its recent run on Broadway.
