Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal are opening tonight on Broadway in “Othello.”

A few celebs turned out. But the main one was former President Joe Biden. He was wearing a natty tuxedo and waved to the people outside. On his arm, of course, was Dr. Jill Biden. And former spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre.

This was Biden’s first appearance since the country was overtaken by monsters two months ago. You will never see any of them at a Broadway show.

Other celebs included Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Lopez with Emme, her child, Cynthia Nixon, Samuel L. Jackson, Ariana DeBose. and singer Kandi Burruss.

Not a big red carpet, but a quality one!

The Kenny Leon production awaits reviews, although it’s said to be a bit “dull.” The most exciting thing about it seems to be the $921 ticket price.

Love Joe and Jill and they look great!
