Broadway's Macbeth officially opened its limited engagement April 28 at the Longacre Theatre. Starring Daniel Craig in the title role and Ruth Negga as the relentless Lady Macbeth, Tony winner Sam Gold directs the production.
Previews for this production of the Scottish Play, which began March 29, were interrupted due to positive COVID cases within the company. Performances resumed April 12, and reviews were held until April 29 to give critics ample time.
