'Othello' Revival Starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal Breaks Broadway Grossing Record

The production sets a new weekly gross record for a Broadway play during its preview run, with ticket prices reaching unprecedented highs.

The revival of Shakespeare's 'Othello,' starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, grossed $2,818,297 across eight preview performances at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre last week, setting a new record for a Broadway play.
This marks the second consecutive week the production has topped Broadway grosses, surpassing the previous record held by 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' in 2023.
Directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon, the limited engagement officially opens on March 23 and runs through June 8, 2025.
Ticket prices for 'Othello' are significantly higher than the Broadway average, with an average price of $338.09 and top seats reaching up to $921.
The production's success highlights a trend of rising Broadway ticket prices, driven by high-profile stars and increasing production costs.
