Jude is magnificent as Hamlet. I saw him in London and NY - both performances were brilliant. He is a master at the verse as well as the entire production.
I sat on the first row, dead center and could have reached out and touched Jude Law in HAMLET. It is my favorite play since I first saw Richard Burton in 1964 when I was a teenager. I loved Jude Law and thought it was the most exciting and fulfilling performance of that part that I have ever seen, including Burton and all the others in between. Honorable mention to Kevin Klein, whom I saw twice and was magnificent.
I saw Hamlet with my boyfriend in November of 09. I met him when he was signing autographs after the show. Not a lot of actors thank their fans in person. He was was polite and charming
Just saw this last night on Broadway. Jude Law is brilliant!! He completely owns the role & every word he speaks throughout this gorgeous production!! His stage presence & performance: phenomenal!!!
Saw this last Friday -- absolutely amazing in every way. Jude Law is mind-bogglingly spectacular; the way he played Hamlet is exactly the way I have always envisioned the character. Perfect.
I was so thrilled to be in the front row in 2009 (and see Hair the next night). Phenomenal Hamlet portrayal. There are scenes he did that I have never seen done better Probably one of the top four I have seen live--David Tennant, Paapa Essiedu, Adrian Lester, and Jude Law.
It's nice to see two of Britain's two hottest & talented actors doing Hamlet on both sides of the pond to great success at much the same time! Both he and David Tennant in the RSC production are sensational!
I wish I COULD HAVE SEEN THIS! I dunno know if they came to the states but still! WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN LONDON?! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! For those of you who got to see it, YOU ARE SO LUCKLY! PLUS, PLUS! You would be like so close to him. *wails* He probably did amazing. >>; ANYHOW! THANKS FOR UPLOADING!
The guy who comes on at 1:19 talking to jude - i met him randomly one time and we chatted for a while, he was so inspiring and open to talking about his experiences - even showed me jude laws mobile number! But he said how lovely jude was and how he would take the cast out clubbing and they would crawl back at ridiculous times in the morning but jude would be up and ready to perform :)
Alright. It was absolutely amazing! Jude law is awesome, but not only him, all the other people as well. It was funny (when called for) and intense. I was captivated the whole time. Jude kept an amazing intensity the whole play. The sword fight was so real. After the show he signed autographs. I was only 3 feet away from him! My friend got an autograph. It was an awesome experience! Go see it!
They film these things for 'archival efforts' and then refuse to sell them! How dumb! I'd pay any amount of money to see Matt Ryan on the stage! Horatio always did know what was up.
@hazlitt1 Tim burton, Master at playing hamlet?? *Clears Throat*...I assume you haven't seen Laurence Olivier performance yet? he kicks Burtons ASS!! But Burton is one of the best actors ever lived, no doubt about that!!
@hazlitt1...Don't you understand that Hamlet has been played hundreds maybe even thousands of times. For you to say that Law copied Burton is just absurd and sorry to say, but ignorant. An actor will take Hamlet and transform him into there own character. Jude Law took Hamlet as he would have foreseen Hamlet in action, that's All!!
I'm not sure I'd agree that Prince Hamlet is wildly complex. Possibly he's just smug and entitled, with a predisposition to depression and mood swings?
@hazlitt1 Wow, you took way beyond where I would've taken it. You actually wrote an entire paragraph explaining your idea to me! LOL, listen 1st. Od cours Olivier would praise Burton, he wouldn't not like him as Hamlet. 2nd..Its the directors choice in how they want the actor to portray a character, so Jude did his best. I'm an actor and did Hamlet!!
@freedomland11 Olivier himself disagrees with you. Larry Olivier himself declared Burton a superior shakespearean. Jude Law, Ken Branagh etc also disagree as they invariably copy Burton when performing Hamlet, Henry V, Coriolanus and anything they can get their hands on tthat Burton recorded. I have researched this for many years.
@freedomland11 Law didn't 'Transform' hamlet, he copied the inflexion patterns, pauses, emphasis choices etc from Burton. There are sound and voice analysis machines which show this. Law, Branagh and others have consistantly stolen from Burton. Do your home work rather than blindly defending Law who you are obviously bessoted with.
@coramunroe Law has 'borrowed' a lot from Richard Burton. Some would say plagiarized. Ah well Law knows a master when he sees one. But deserving a Tony for stealing from Burton, I think not.
@freedomland11 I doubt very much that all their directors have asked Jude Law, Ken Branagh et al to all copy Burton! Even if the phony directors did 'force' Law, Brannagh et al to copy Burton, it is incumbent on Law, Brannagh, etc. to fes up and acknowledge Burton from whom they stole. You haven't denied Law plagiarized, you are now simply suggesting Law was commanded by his director to copy Burton.

I saw Jude Law in NYC in October. He was the greatest portrayal of Hamlet in a live performance I have ever seen. Nothing short of phenomenal.

This is one of the instances I wish I had a little money to see these amazing plays played by great actors and actresses:(
My God! Hes so great and so smart and so good looken! love him!
jude law is such a great actor.
What a voice has Jude Law...just exquisit...
I saw him in Denmark at Kronborg, Hamlet's home ground. Jude Law was brilliant!!
I wish I COULD HAVE SEEN THIS! I dunno know if they came to the states but still! WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN LONDON?! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

O_O
Finding Jude Law has played Hamlet = best part of my day so far.
I was there and i even stood right in front for the autograph session..!! He is so Daaaaaaamn Fine..!!

I would have loved to seen this live. I wonder if it's on DVD?
But the company said there is no DVD plan....my heart is broken
I regret not watching this. Come back, Mr. Law!
Oh how much I would have loved to watch this live 😭
He's so hot too
i seen this today....Jude Law is a Brilliant actor
I agree he is very talented.
He should play Hamlet in Movie. Mel Gibson and Ethen Hawk were very bad but Jude could do justice to the play to the movie theater
I am in awe no one drowned him out with the sound of fangirling....
They film these things for 'archival efforts' and then refuse to sell them! How dumb! I'd pay any amount of money to see Matt Ryan on the stage! Horatio always did know what was up.
Matt Ryan recently starred opposite Keira Knightley in Thérèse Raquin on Broadway. It was incredible.
Please tell me somebody recorded this OR if there is pro-shot dvd of it?
I hope he'll an award!
i really wish i could have seen this on broadway.. :(
If he had done this play when i studied Hamlet, i would have been inspired and score A. Lol
i'm seeing him on the 24th for my birthday! i can't wait!
1:52 that part was hilarious
Please, relase dvd.
Bravo bello, bello e bravo.
He was fucking AMAZING!
Shakespeare is now interessting to me... Jude!!

@Mariannoula15 I´ve done it but at 3:04..hmmm..:)
