Direct from its sold-out run in Central Park, the acclaimed Public Theater production of William Shakespeare’s THE MERCHANT OF VENICE comes to Broadway for 78 performances only.

"A MARVELOUS NEW PRODUCTION! This is a MERCHANT for the age of Wall Street bubble boomers, a haunting indictment of a money-drunk society." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

 Academy Award® winner Al Pacino reprises his stunning performance as Shylock in the must-see event The Wall Street Journal declares “cries out to be seen by everyone with a passion for truly great theater. The best Merchant I’ve ever seen!” Long considered to be one of Shakespeare’s most thrilling and controversial plays, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is rich with love and betrayal, forgiveness and revenge. And now, for 78 performances only, you can see Academy Award® winner Al Pacino, live on Broadway, in the season’s hottest ticket.
