Biloxi Blues is a comedy about young men going off to war. These men are universal soldiers facing the same fears, anxieties, and loneliness that grip all young recruits who encounter the ultimate test of combat. Mr. Simon brings his great sense of humor and humanity to every word of this magnificent play.

Biloxi Blues is the middle play of the Simon trilogy about his growing up. Beginning with Brighton Beach Memoirs and ending with Broadway Bound, Mr. Simon explores the life and times of Eugene Morris Jerome as he struggles to find a path for his talents and his way in the world. These three plays mark a high point in the career of a master writer. We are very fortunate and proud to once again bring Neil Simon to our national audience with one of his masterpieces: Biloxi Blues.

“Biloxi Blues is both heartwarming and funny.”
– The New York Times

“Witty one-liners …along with stirringly emotional revelations.”
– Variety
