Seven Performances Left to See MACBETH on Broadway Starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga

Theatregoers have just seven performances left to catch Sam Gold’s production of Macbeth on Broadway starring Daniel Craig and Tony nominee Ruth Negga, as the production heads into its final week of performances at the Longacre Theatre. The 3-time Tony-nominated production will play its final performance on Sunday, July 10th at 3PM as scheduled.

MACBETH broke the box office record at the Longacre Theater six times throughout its run. The production now holds the box office record at the Longacre Theater for the week ending May 8, 2022, with a gross of $1,365,599. The previous record was held by Of Mice and Men for the week ending July 27, 2014 at $1,038,106.

MACBETH created the Macbeth 2022: Ticket Initiative, a program developed to provide students with a unique opportunity to see a world-class Broadway production of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. With generous support from Omega, American Express, Baccarat, The Capri Foundation for The Advancement of Diversity in Fashion, The Peninsula New York, The John Gore Foundation, and The McGill Caiola Family Foundation, the initiative more than doubled its original commitment of at least 2,022 tickets, providing 5,000 tickets to students, free of charge, eliminating the financial barrier to entry for students from underrepresented communities.

High school students and teachers from over 80 public schools across all five boroughs have attended Macbeth, including Curtis High School (Staten Island), Maspeth High School (Queens), East Side Community School (Manhattan), Fort Hamilton High School (Brooklyn), Explorations Academy High School (Bronx), Lexington School for the Deaf, 47 The American Sign Language and English Secondary School and colleges such as The City University of New York, Medgar Evers College, Hunter College, Kingsborough Community College, Fordham University and more.

The ensemble is completed by Che Ayende (King Lear), and Eboni Flowers (Slave Play). Stevie Ray Dallimore (Henry IV) is the standby for Daniel Craig.
