Jude Law: To Be (Or Not To Be) Hamlet on Broadway

Is Broadway bringing over another British Hamlet? Jude Law—who’s playing the famous Dane in London’s West End through August 22—is rumored to be Broadway bound, according to Baz Bamigboye in London’s Daily Mail. He’d be the first Hamlet on the Great White Way since Ralph Fiennes’ famous warp-speed Tony-winning version in 1995, which was imported from the U.K.’s Almeida Theatre.

Law, director Michael Grandage and the rest of the Donmar Warehouse Hamlet have all received very good notices. And the Donmar—which is currently under the artistic direction of Grandage—has shipped many of its shows across the Atlantic, most recently Frost/Nixon and this season’s Mary Stuart.

Bamigboye quotes a Donmar rep who says only that there’s “nothing to confirm.” Coincidentally, Law’s famous ex, Sienna Miller, will be starring on Broadway from October 22 through December 6 in Patrick Marber’s Strindberg-inspired play After Miss Julie.
