AceShowbiz - Broadway came alive on the night of Sunday, March 23, as the revival of William Shakespeare's "Othello" opened at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City. The excitement wasn't confined to the stage. An impressive array of stars graced the red carpet, turning the event into one of the most glittering nights Broadway has seen in years.

The illustrious guest list included an astonishing array of heavyweight names like Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Nettles, Angela Bassett, Nicole Scherzinger, Spike Lee, Colman Domingo, Anna Wintour, Katie Holmes, and Kandi Burruss.

Jennifer Lopez was also in attendance, bringing her child Emme with her. The "Jenny From the Block" hitmaker turned heads in a glamorous two-piece ensemble adorned with rhinestones, beads, and gold sequins.

Former President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden also stirred the crowd with their arrival. Joe Biden was spotted later inside the theater conversing with the evening's stars, Washington and Gyllenhaal.

This latest adaptation of "Othello", featuring the formidable talents of Denzel Washington as Othello and Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago, marks the return of the Bard's tragedy to the Great White Way after a 40-year hiatus.

Helmed by acclaimed director Kenny Leon and produced by Brian A. Moreland, this production has already secured its place in Broadway history, grossing $2.8 million in a single week - more than any play has ever made in such a short period.

The story centers on Denzel Washington's Othello, who falls victim to Iago's malevolent schemes. In this production, Gyllenhaal's Iago embodies vengeful deception after being spurned for a promotion, dragging Othello and his wife Desdemona into a devastating web of lies and betrayal.

The impeccable supporting cast includes Molly Osborne as Desdemona, Andrew Burnap as Cassio, and Kimber Elayne Sprawl as Emilia, among others. The production runs a strictly limited engagement of 15 weeks, concluding on Sunday, June 8.

The evening's grandeur was encapsulated by the meet-and-greet backstage, with photos of Biden beaming beside Washington and Gyllenhaal, providing a memorable reminder of the event.

With such an auspicious beginning, this modern take on "Othello" promises to be one of the most talked-about productions in recent Broadway history.
