Kenny Leon has assembled a Tony-winning creative team for his upcoming Broadway revival of Shakespeare's Othello. Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal are leading the production in the title role and as Iago, respectively. Performances are slated to begin in spring 2025 at a Shubert theatre to be announced.

The production will feature scenic design by two-time Tony winner Derek McLane, costume design by Tony winner Dede Ayite, lighting design by eight-time Tony winner Natasha Katz, sound design by Obie Award winner Justin Ellington, hair and wig design by Emmy winner Mia Neal, intimacy direction by Claire Warden, and production stage management by Narda E. Alcorn.

Joining Washington and Gyllenhaal in the cast as Desdemona will be Molly Osborne, a rising star of the West End stage, whose credits include playing Tzeitel in Menier Chocolate Factory's Fiddler on the Roof and Chana in Menier's Indecent. On screen, Osborne can be seen in PBS' Call the Midwife and in Amazon Prime's upcoming Anansi Boys.

Brian Anthony Moreland is producing. Further casting, by ARC's Duncan Stewart and Jarrett Reiche, is to be announced.

This upcoming revival will be the first Broadway staging of the tragedy since a 1982 revival starring James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer. The classic play follows its title character, a Moorish military commander who falls victim to a psychological campaign from adversary Iago aimed at turning him against his new wife, Desdemona.

The revival will be arguably the highest-profile production brought to the Main Stem by producer Moreland, currently represented on Broadway with The Wiz. He's previously received four Tony nominations, for The Piano Lesson, American Buffalo, The Sound Inside, and Sea Wall/A Life.

101 Productions will serve as general manager.
