Daniel Craig Is Done with Broadway, but Not the Stage
By: Jessica Khan Aug. 27, 2015
Daniel Craig, who last starred on Broadway opposite his wife Rachel Weisz in Harold Pinter's BETRAYAL, is done with the Great White Way.
The actor told DuJour he would "like to do some theater in New York" in the next year or two, but not on Broadway.
He added, "I've done Broadway and I was happy with that, but I don't want to do Broadway anymore. The audience is all over 50, on the whole, and I think new faces and cheaper tickets are the only way forward. And it's never going to happen."
Alas, JAMES BOND THE MUSICAL is out of the question.
Craig also appeared in 2009's A STEADY RAIN. He launched his career onstage by training with the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and later starred in the Royal National Theatre's production of ANGELS IN AMERICA.
He is the latest James Bond, having starred as 007 in CASINO ROYALE, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, SKYFALL and the upcoming installment of the franchise, SPECTRE. Among his other recent film credits are THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, DREAM HOUSE, COWBOYS & ALIENS, THE GOLDEN COMPASS and more.
