Much Ado About Nothing with Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell announces Broadway venue, dates and further casting

The Jamie Lloyd Company has revealed details ahead of the Broadway transfer of its five-star revival of Much Ado About Nothing.

As already revealed, the show will star Tom Hiddleston as Benedick and Hayley Atwell as Beatrice in the production, directed by Jamie Lloyd.

In a gloriously effusive review, WhatsOnStage critic Sarah Crompton said: “The production is big, broad and for all its contemporary trimmings, absolutely Shakespearean in the way that it welcomes everyone into the entertainment. But it is also subtle, and very fine.”

The entire cast and creative team will reunite on Broadway for a limited 10-week engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre. Previews begin on 31 October, ahead of an official opening on 19 November. The run will conclude on 10 January 2027.

Set to feature are Mara Huf (Hero), Mika Onyx Johnson (Borachio), Gerald Kyd (Don Pedro), Forbes Masson (Leonato), Phillip Olagoke (Friar Francis), Mason Alexander Park (Margaret), James Phoon (Claudio) and Tim Steed (Don John). It marks WhatsOnStage Award nominee Park’s Broadway debut.

The production was nominated for four WhatsOnStage Awards, including Best Direction and Best Play Revival, as well as four Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards.

Completing the creative team are set and costume designer Soutra Gilmour, lighting designer Jon Clark, and sound designers and composers Ben and Max Ringham. With movement direction by Fabian Aloise, Jonathan Glew serving as associate director and text editor, Stuart Burt as UK casting director, and Jim Carnahan and Alexandre Bleau are the US casting directors.

Johnny Milani is the production stage manager, while Carole Hancock is responsible for wigs, hair, and makeup design and the intimacy coordinator is Ingrid Mackinnon.

For the Broadway transfer, the creative team will also include Conner Wilson (US associate director), Charlie Martin (UK associate choreographer), Anna Josephs (associate costume design), Ricky Lurie (US assistant costume designer), Cheryl Thomas (US assistant hair, wigs, and make-up), Huw Evans (UK music supervisor), and Adam Rothenberg (US music supervisor).
