Othello

Show Is On Broadway First Time Since 1982

This production marks the first time Othello has graced the Broadway stage since 1982, which was a short run of just one month.

In the 20th century, nearly 20 productions of Othello have been presented on Broadway, but the Shakespearean tragedy has been absent from Broadway for over 40 years as audiences crave more modern material.
The 1982 Broadway production starred James Earl Jones as Othello and Christopher Plummer as Iago.

Big Hollywood Stars Are The Draw

Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal star in 2025 Broadway production of Othello setting up what is expected to be the hottest ticket of the 2024-2025 Broadway theatre season.

Show Performs 6 Nights Per Week

Typically, due to the length of Othello being so long (typically at over 3.5 hours), the show will often only perform five nights per week. The stars on this show are Hollywood babies and demanded that it be cut down. This production is now just two hours and 35 minutes. with one intermission and runs six days per week. Shakespeare would not be impressed.

The show is a limited run of 16 weeks.

Ticket Prices Expected To Set Record High

This show is expected to achieve record ticket prices as tickets will become scarce due to the limited run, there are limited shows per week and the star power of the two lead actors will drive fans to want to see it.
