Othello: The Remix is Shakespeare as you’ve never experienced before. As much parody as homage, the story is modernized with four performers playing all the parts, bringing with them a tremendous amount of comedy. And while Hamilton can be credited with popularizing the use of hip hop in Broadway musicals, Othello: The Remix, written by the Q Brothers, brings it to another level with rap and hip hop used throughout to breathe new life into the classic story. Directed by Denzel Belin with Music Direction and Choreography by Maia Maiden.
