Jude Law "To Be" Broadway's Next Hamlet

"What a piece of work..."

Not only can you spot Jude Law in the reportedly homo-tastic-ish Sherlock Holmes film this September, you can also buy tickets to catch him onstage as Hamlet in a big production being imported over from London's classy/edgy Donmar Warehouse. Law's currently playing the role there, it's a hit, and it's set to begin previews on Broadway on September 12th, and run for 12 weeks at the Broadhurst Theatre. Opening night is October 6th.

Michael Grandage (Frost/Nixon) will direct. And it's likely that more Brits will join the NYC cast; full casting details will come later. AmEx cardholders can buy tix today; the general public can shop for Jude/Hamlet seats starting July 18th.

More Jude pics (including one from the London production) after the jump!
