Tickets at Todd Haimes Theatre

The Todd Haimes Theatre was built in 1918 by producers (and brothers) Arch and Edgar Selwyn and was originally named The Selwyn Theatre. Like many other theaters, it fell victim to the economic woes of the Great Depression and became a movie house in the 1930s.


The venue was a movie theater for almost 70 years, until it was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. After an expensive overhaul, it reopened as The American Airlines Theatre in 2000. In January 2024, the theater was renamed in memory of Roundabout Theatre Company's longtime artistic director and chief executive Todd Haimes.

Story for Bernhardt/Hamlet

Mark Twain wrote: “There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses. And then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” In 1899, the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Theresa Rebeck’s new play from Roundabout Theatre Company rollicks with high comedy and human drama, set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt’s career. Janet McTeer, “one of the finest classical actresses of her generation” (The Telegraph), brings the legendary leading lady to life. Directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel.

Critics’ Reviews for Bernhardt/Hamlet

"NYT CRITIC'S PICK Bernhardt/Hamlet is a vision, so clever it uplifts, so timely it hurts. Janet McTeer is riveting in this deluxe production of a breakneck backstage comedy."

Jesse Green, The New York Times

"Bernhardt/Hamlet deserves to be seen twice and revived often"

Robert Hofler, The Wrap

"Spirited, funny new play"

Greg Evans, Deadline
