Liberation on Broadway tickets

Get Liberation tickets and experience an award-winning play from Tony Award nominee Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons), on Broadway following a hit Off-Broadway world premiere. Another Tony nominee, Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), directs this provocative and illuminating new work, winner of an Outer Critics Circle Award Edgerton Foundation New Play Award, and which New York Theatre Guide's critic hailed as "essential theatregoing this Broadway season."

The new play traces the events of two time periods: In 1970, six women, all strangers to each other, gathered at their local community center. In its basement gym, these women wanted to shake up their lives — and the world around them. In the near-present, half a century later, one of their daughters passionately seeks the answer to one question: what the hell happened?

An electric play about the open conversations women share behind closed doors, Liberation comes to the James Earl Jones Theatre on Broadway. Award-winning playwright Wohl is known for her pointed but moving works, which are often sly and reveal more than meets the eye. Such plays have made her a popular fixture on and off Broadway over the past decade. A Drama Desk Award and Lortel Award nominee for the musical Pretty Filthy, she has also written Grand Horizons, Small Mouth Sounds, Make Believe, and Camp Siegfried.

White is also an accomplished New York artist, earning an Obie Award and directing the groundbreaking What to Send Up When it Goes Down along with productions at The Public Theater, Steppenwolf, and other esteemed theatres. Now, these two women pair up to tell a singular story about sisterhood found in unexpected places over the decades, and the sturdy legacies we attempt to build.
