Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal to Star in Broadway’s ‘Othello’


Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal will return to Broadway for a revival of "Othello."

They will star in a revival of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Othello,” which opens in the spring of 2025 and is sure to be one of the buzziest tickets of the season. Washington, the Academy Award-winning actor of “Training Day” and “Glory,” was last on Broadway in the 2018 revival of “The Iceman Cometh.” He made his stage debut in 1998’s “Checkmates” and also starred in August Wilson’s play “Fences.” He then led the 2016 film adaptation of “Fences,” directed by Leon. Gyllenhaal, who will be seen next in the upcoming action thriller “Road House,” landed a Tony nomination for the 2019 play “Sea Wall/ A Life.” He’s also appeared on the Great White Way in productions of the Stephen Sondheim classic “Sunday in the Park With George” and “Constellations.”
