Some of the footage I thought was from the also Kenny Leon directed "A Soldier's Play" but with columns.""Reviews for “Othello” should start rolling out in the wee hours of Monday morning. (The show gave critics free tickets under the condition that reviews be published after midnight, so the company can enjoy its opening night party without worrying about notices.)"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/briefing/broadway-ticket-prices.html

I don’t usually do front row center orchestra, but it’s what’s available for this show for me. Any thoughts on seating for this show? Is the stage high. Will I miss a lot?

I didn’t like this as much as I wanted—theme park fare, tbh.I look forward to the day Jennifer Simard gets a role that truly showcases the depth of her brilliance. She’s one of a kind and never disappoints in whatever she’s in. I went for her and wasn’t disappointed on that front.

I had high hopes, but this was really bad lolwhew…those book scenes are the PITS 😩

They could’ve kept this, to be honest. I respect the swing, but it just didn’t work. I found it to be basic and bland.Loved the effects though. Very trippy. See this while high. I can’t imagine experiencing this any other way. lol

Job well done, Patrick!Fab run!

I can see the playwright winning another pulitzer. (If the eligibility window hasn't passed.) It's such an incredible, complex, challenging and moving piece. I feel lucky to have seen it.

Saw this last night. A must-see.wow.What are your thoughts?

So annoying. smh

TaffyDavenport said: "FWIW, all this commentary about the show’s ending is a huge spoiler, and I’m very glad I didn’t read it before I went."Agree. Very inconsiderate of them.

I think Lena is a cool choice. Unexpected, but great choice.I think we should forget about Jujamcyn renaming another theater, and I think rightfully so. All their theaters are named after people I think were greatly influential to the industry and should stay attached. I’m saying this as a Black person fyi.If another theater is renamed anywhere on Broadway, it could be the American Airlines (disgusting name that I think we can all agree should change), the New Amsterdam, Broadway, or The Pala...

This is to signal to the world that Broadway won’t require masks anymore. They will come off in July. It’s that simple. I can’t see any other reason for this.My issue though is when they do come off, ALL the theaters need to be aligned, unlike the vaxx checks. It’s annoying that some theaters are still doing that when most are not. (It seems the theaters with subscribers are keeping the act going smh)I think this also means testing for actors will stop soon too. And it’s time.By the fall, we ...

I miss it too.I went to the Theater Talk revival/goodbye-for-good show at the Lincoln Center performing arts library a few years ago (2019?) and loved it. So messy and intellectual at the same time. It helped me better understand Jesse and Ben as critics. Seeing them critique is very different than reading their words.

THDavis said: "I’ve been reading that many have found sound issues with this show. I thought it was only because I was up in the back of the balcony, but I’m reading it’s troublesome in the mezz as well. I’m taking my cousin to see this show for her first time this weekend: can anyone attest to whether the sound is just as troublesome from the orchestra as it is elsewhere? I’d like her (and myself) to be able to hear it better, but if it’s just as much of an issue in the orchestra then I may ...

I agree with the chorus of those who said the doc was “shapeless.” I’ve seen much better/in-depth.And I agree that ignoring the London ‘18 revival was “egregious.”A waste of time tbh.

It was cute and well done. Nothing riveting. But to see this from a Black writer was cool. It reminded me of a Bess Wohl play.
