With over 14 million copies sold, Tuesdays with Morrie stands among the most popular and most read books in the world. And the play doesn’t disappoint… bringing this delightful, profound, humorous, entertaining tear-jerker to life.

As Morrie profoundly suggests, when it comes to “that last journey into the great unknown…people want to know what to pack.”

Mitch Albom, a successful sports reporter, is drawn to reconnect with his old sociology professor when he learns on Nightline that Morrie Schwartz has ALS, also called Lou Gehrig’s Disease. What’s initially intended as a one-time visit by Mitch—uncomfortable with Morrie’s “touchy-feely” tendencies and frank mentions of death—grows into recurring meetings, always on Tuesdays, where the pair discuss purpose, regrets, life, and death.

‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ lives up to its reputation as a crowd-pleaser … and continues to dampen cheeks and warm hearts.
