Review | Othello' with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal leaves phones locked but emotions unplugged | amNewYork
Briefly

The new Broadway revival of Othello, featuring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, has achieved record ticket sales of $2.8 million in a week, but the production itself receives mixed reviews for its uninspired staging. Despite the high ticket prices, which have sparked discussions about the cost of attending Broadway shows, they reflect financial necessities in commercial theater rather than greed by producers. Although this version isn't remarkable, the original play remains accessible to the public, with various adaptations available for those unable to afford tickets.
The new Broadway revival of Othello, while raking in a record $2.8 million in ticket sales, offers a pedestrian and uninspired staging that contrasts sharply with past productions.
The high ticket prices for this production primarily stem from the financial realities of commercial Broadway, not a willingness to exploit audiences for profit.
