Story

Tony® & Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington stars as Othello, the noble Moor of Venice and commanding warrior-general. Opposite him, Tony & Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal portrays Iago, the ambitious lieutenant and masterful manipulator.

 

Spurned for promotion, Iago’s relentless quest for vengeance against Othello and his wife, Desdemona (portrayed by Molly Osborne), plunges them into a shocking web of deception and betrayal.

Brilliant Lead Performances in an Overall Stellar Show!
"Seeing two A-listers on stage at the same time is breathtaking. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a masterful performance as Iago, as if he was born to play this role and has been doing it for months rather than in week 2 of previews. Denzel is a legend and his Othello is like no other. The production is further elevated by the rest of the outstanding cast. We were seated in the back row and felt right at the heart of the action, as there is not a bad seat in the intimate setting of the Barrymore Theatre. This show is worth every penny!"

Love it (not what I read in some reviews)
"I loved it. I think the actors were excellent across the board - Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago was superb, in my opinion. Didn't know a lot about his acting until this show, amazing. Completely immersed myself in the tragedy. Would go see it again, if it didn't cost arm and a leg to be near stage :)"

Tragic love story
"Loved the cast, everyone was sensational. At first I didn’t understand the “Shakespearian “ words/lines but as the play went on I could understand what it was about ."

Iago the show stealer!
"We were enthralled to see Denzel Washington live and in person and we were not disappointed! And yet- the true star of the show was Jake Gyllenhaal. His performance of Iago was spot on and brought the audience into the show more than any other character. "

Denzel never disappoints!
"I feel honored to witness live and in person Denzel Washington’s greatness….he is the GOAT! Jake Gyllenhall is well on his way…I don’t think we really give him the credit he so deserves. Everyone did a fantastic job keeping you interested as you know Shakespeare can be a bit boring…. Highly recommend!"

great to see the best on stage...
"Being used to seeing the main protagonists acting on film, it was fantastic to see all of their skills brought to bear on stage. Stage acting requires so much physicality to convey the same understanding for the audience and to invoke the right emotions at the right time. Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal delivered in spades. Importantly they were very well supported by the rest of a great cast. I really enjoyed it. Luckily had great seats as the acoustics were not great, but this did not in anyway spoil the spectacle. "

Simply Amazing
"The entire show was fantastic and emotional. Denzel's performance was everything I expected and more. Jake was fantastic. The entire cast did a tremendous job. "

In the presence of excellence
"Within moments of the curtains going up, the audience is greeted with Jake’s presence on stage. Immediately, you can tell this is going to be an extraordinary show. But thennnnnnn, Denzel comes onto the stage and nothing can prepare you for that moment. Without a shadow of a doubt, you’ll know you’re in the presence of excellence. He commands the stage like no other and delivers his lines with such conviction, that I found myself holding my breath at times. The story is timeless and yet the modern twist was refreshing to see. I know tickets for this show are a luxury, but if you can budget for it, you won’t be disappointed. Will be worth every single penny … an experience that will stay a lifetime with you. "

I drove 2 hours to see it!
"In the middle of the work week I drove 2 hours to see it, that should be all you need to know! I loved it even though it took me about 10 minutes in to figure out what was going on! It’s pricey as theater tickets go, but it was worth it!"
