Overview
- Previews begin March 19 at the James Earl Jones Theatre, with opening night set for April 15 and a limited 16-week engagement.
- Brody portrays Nick Yarris, who spent 22 years on death row before DNA evidence cleared him in 2004, while Thompson plays Jackie, a prison visitor.
- The show partners with the Innocence Project, the group that helped secure Yarris’s exoneration and reports more than 250 exonerations, over 4,000 years freed, and 250 policy reforms.
- Tony Award winner David Cromer directs a new stage adaptation by Lindsey Ferrentino, drawn from Yarris’s first-person account, memoir, and the 2015 documentary by David Sington.
- Brody reprises a role he played in 2024 at London’s Donmar Warehouse and says the Broadway debut fulfills a goal dating back to his teen years in theater.
