Denzel Washington & Jake Gyllenhaal’s ‘Othello’ Premiere Was So Star-Studded, Even Shakespeare Would’ve Needed Sunglasses

Buy Me A Coffee

Broadway? More like Star-way, because Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal just turned Othello into the hottest ticket in town—so hot, even Shakespeare himself would’ve had to pull some strings to get in.

The legendary Denzel Washington (a youthful 70-year-old because apparently, he doesn’t age) took center stage as Othello, while Jake Gyllenhaal (who looks like he probably recites Shakespeare in the mirror for fun) played the ultimate hater, Iago. The show, running for just 15 weeks, is basically a masterclass in revenge, deception, and why you should never trust a guy who says, “Hey, I’ve got a plan.”

But let’s talk about the audience, because it was essentially the Met Gala, but with more iambic pentameter.

The Biden family showed up, meaning the former President of the United States is officially a theater kid now. Jennifer Lopez brought her child, Emme, because J.Lo’s plus-one game is always iconic. Anna Wintour was there, probably judging everyone’s outfits in Shakespearean verse. Samuel L. Jackson? He came, he saw, he probably whispered “motherf—” at least once under his breath.

Other A-listers included Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett (queen behavior), Colman Domingo, Nicole Scherzinger (maybe warming up for a surprise musical number?), Al Roker, and even MARTHA STEWART. Yes, even Martha said, “I simply must witness this dramatic betrayal in person.”

And if you were hoping to grab a ticket, well, good luck. Not only is the first week completely sold out, but the play has already broken the record for the highest-grossing Broadway play EVER. Apparently, drama pays!

So, if you want in on this Othello magic, start manifesting, bribing, or befriending Martha Stewart ASAP.
