Hiddleston & Atwell Much Ado @ the Winter Garden — Page 2

Regardless of where this goes, I hope it’s happening! Missed this by just a few days last yeaR and the reviews were ecstatic. We really don’t get enough of Shakespeare’s comedies in New York.

Hiddleston elevates this above the Jamie Lloyd confetti shtick. He shines like the star he is and makes it one of the funniest, most entertaining Shakespeares.

It is Bard-light, but as theatrical event it works wonders.

I don’t feel like he elevated Betrayal… I thought that was a snooze."

Well, this is loud, fast and excessive, anything but boring.

Didn’t realize the London run was so short - I’m guessing if we only get 8-10 weeks (given the star power and West End reviews), they should be able to fill the Winter Garden.

I would think (given the scheduled run of Salesman) that Much Ado would be arriving in late summer/early fall. I’d think that this would certainly mean a crazy busy end-of-the-year for the two stars."

I just checked and yes Hiddleston AND Atwell are slated to be in Avengers: Doomsday. Since it's pretty much common knowledge that the press tour for it is gonna be insane, I definitely think late summer/early fall run seems about right...

Yeah, and the movies are Infamously shot in bits and pieces and then assembled (heh) in the editing room to accommodate the massive casts and try and quell potential spoilers. There are a number of reports of the actors having no idea what movies they were in or how big their part would be until they actually saw the final product.

There should be little trouble finding time for Tom to shoot his scenes around a stage production.

Im usually a Jamie Lloyd defender but the sheer amount of productions he gets on Broadway is getting a little ridiculous. 

I can see how for some his "game" is getting a bit repetitive.

Salesman will be announcing an 8 week extension to Aug 9, which means Much Ado will likely be a fall-winter offering. 

Just FYI:

 

The Winter Garden was the venue for the glorious 1972-73 MUCH ADO starring Sam Waterston and Kathleen Widdoes.

 

 

Fall 2026 at “a Shubert Theatre to be announced.”

Any thoughts on when tickets for this will go on sale?
