Jude Law coming to Broadway in 'Hamlet' in September

Jude Law will return to Broadway in September as Hamlet, according to the Donmar Warehouse website.

The Shakespeare tragedy, currently playing in London, earned mostly good reviews from critics.

Law made his Broadway debut in 1995 in “Indiscretions,” Variety notes.

“Hamlet” will play the Broadhurst Theatre for 12-weeks only. Previews will start Sept. 12; opening night is set for Oct. 6.

Tickets go on sale to American Express card members July 1 while the general public gets access starting July 18. Regular tickets will be priced from $25 to $116.50. Premium seats are $201.50 to $251.50. If a performance is sold out, standing-room tickets will go on sale the day of the performance for $21.50. The box office for “Hamlet” will open July 18.

The Donmar is the same troupe behind Tony-nominated “Mary Stuart,” now at the Broadhurst, as well as the Tony-nominated “Frost/Nixon” in 2007.

The Broadhurst Theatre is located at 235 W. 44th St., map.
