| I wouldn't fault Jake Gyllenhaal OR Denzel Washington. Clearly, they both love theater, and it's so amazing to me that stars of their stature would still come back, as opposed to those actors who played Broadway early in their careers, went to L.A. and became movie stars, and never returned to NYC's stages. Needless to say, their combined drawing power is like minting money, so the tickets were always going to be insane, and scalpers would exploit any system. I caught Denzel's Broadway debut in 1988 in Ron Milner's ''Checkmates.'' Surely, he loves his classics, having done O'Neill & Shakespeare, plus Hansberry and Wilson, but I wish he had done another new play. I also caught Jake's Broadway debut in 2015 in Nick Payne's ''Constellations.'' I once camped overnight at the Hudson Theatre for a $41 rush ticket for his ''Sunday in the Park With George,'' but this ''Othello'' looks way beyond my budget. |
