With only a 15-week run, the show, directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon and taking place at Ethel Barrymore Theatre, has already broken box office records to become the highest-grossing Broadway play ever, raking in $2.8 million in previews in a single week.

Tony Award winner and two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and Tony Award nominee and Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal go toe-to-toe in Broadway's latest production of Othello, directed by Kenny Leon.

Denzel Washington is the star of the show but he plays his Othello with a remoteness that can throw off the play.
