Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All Tickets

In Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Tony and Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn stars as 99-year-old Lucy Marsden, a masterful storyteller with a caustic tongue who is determined to tell all about her life--especially her marriage at age 15 to a grizzled 50-year-old Civil War veteran. Spanning a century, from the antebellum South into the present day, this stage adaptation of Allan Gurganus' best-selling novel is a funny, spirited play about a remarkable woman's triumphant life story.

This show is closed.

Tickets at Longacre Theatre

The Longacre, named for Longacre Square (now Times Square), was built by producer/manager H.H. Frazee (also known as the owner of the Boston Red Sox who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees). After Frazee fell into financial difficulties, the theatre changed hands many times before being sold to Astor Theatre Incorporated, a Shubert subsidiary, in 1919. WOR leased it from 1943-1953 as a radio and television playhouse.


Henry B. Herts designed the Longacre, one of four currently operating Shubert playhouses that he designed. It boasts a French Neo-classical-style exterior and a Beaux Arts-style interior, but lacks some of the individuality and flair which characterized Herts’ other designs.


In 2007-08, architect Michael Kostow oversaw a multimillion dollar restoration of the theatre, restoring the original plasterwork and architectural detail, expanding patron amenities, improving sightlines and repairing and cleaning the neo-French Classical exterior facade.
