It was a starry night on Broadway on Sunday, March 23, as the celebrities stepped out to support the opening of the Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal-led revival of William Shakespeare’s Othello,
The production, now open at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City, marks the first time the Bard's tragedy has been on the boards in over 40 years. And with two-time Oscar winner Washington in the title role — and Oscar nomininee Gyllenhaal playing the villianous Iago — it's no surprise the revival has been a top-attraction for audiences.
In fact, it's already made its way into the Broadway history books, grossing $2.8 million alone in one week this month, more than any play has ever made in 7 days on the Great White Way.
