Spectacular!

Othello will play a limited engagement of 15 weeks only at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, with performances beginning February 24, 2025.

Went to NY to see Denzel and Jake perform in Othello but we were disappointed in their lackluster performance. Hollywood does not translate to Broadway, unfortunately. Even though we were in the first 10 rows of center orchestra, they were hard to understand. Maybe the sound system was off that night, but there was no enthusiasm or projection in their voices. The patrons behind us also had an hard time understanding the muffled words and mumbling. The performance by the entire cast sounded canned, not engaging. They were going through the motions without much effort. Not only did we waste over 2 hours of our time, but also $1700+ for 2 tickets!
