Hollywood stars lead Broadway’s 15-week revival of ‘Othello’

Theatrely's Broadway review of Othello directed by Kenny Leon and starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City.

Good theater can heal, as proven by the daily dose of theater openings last week – four shows on Broadway, several Off Broadway and beyond – many of them restorative. Ok, some were not. But the miss is esse…

Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal are megastars, but that doesn't solve the problems of this maddeningly bland production.

Ethel Barrymore Theatre, New York The record-breaking take on the Shakespearean tragedy might already be a smash, but it’s disappointingly muddled With the smell of doom and regression in the air, perhaps it�…

The post Othello appeared first on Did They Like It?.

This “Othello” is still a once-in-a-lifetime experience — be it for this towering cast or its relatability to this current social moment. The depth is all there, but this production simply does not live u…

It’s weird. “Othello” isn’t witty “Hamlet.” The play is not even as funny as “Macbeth.” Maybe it’s because they’re in the presence of celebrities. But I get the sense that the viewers are se…

As much as you may think you need what Othello calls “the ocular proof,” the production is not a must-see. The post Othello appeared first on Did They Like It?.

The tale of Othello is as old as time, but it’s the timing and the telling that elevates this ancient classic. Thanks to a bravura company, the telling is first class. The post Gyllenhaal Slays in the Great T…

Directed by Kenny Leon, the revival opened March 23 at the Barrymore Theatre.

Shakespeare’s leanest tragedy gets a starry, headlong production that embraces the action but misses the mystery.

If there is an American leading man better-equipped to bring Shakespeare to the masses than Denzel Washington, I can’t think of him. Well, “the masses” may be a stretch — the new production of “Othell…
