John Leguizamo will present The Q Brothers' Othello: The Remix, written, directed and composed by GQ and JQ, which will make its New York debut at the Westside Theatre (407 W. 43rd), beginning previews on Tuesday, October 25th and officially opening on Thursday, November 17th.
The production comes to New York after critical and audience acclaim during its world premiere in 2012 at London's The Globe Theatre and following that, its U.S. premiere at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) in 2013.
Othello: The Remix, which is spun out and lyrically rewritten over original beats, is an 80-minute, high-energy spin on Shakespeare's tragic tale proving that the Bard himself was the original master of rhythm and rhyme. The show features five cast members including: GQ (Iago/Brabantio), JQ (Roderigo/Loco Vito/Bianca), Jackson Doran (Cassio/Emilia), Postell Pringle (Othello) and DJ Supernova (DJ). Othello: The Remix was originally commissioned by The Globe Theatre for London's "Globe to Globe" as part of the World Shakespeare Festival in May of 2012. Following that run, the production toured Edinburgh, Germany, South Korea and Chicago, captivating audiences around the world, and garnering acclaim and awards, including Edinburgh's Musical Theatre Matters Awards for Best New Musical Theatre Show and a Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Ensemble.Check out an exclusive first look into the production, below!
