William Shakespeare’s monumental classical tragedy masterpiece 'Hamlet' received a spectacular, star-powered Broadway revival presentation at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in 1964, running for an astonishing 137 performances to stand as a legendary box-office colossus under the banner of Alexander H. Cohen. Directed with stark, minimalist contemporary focus as a real-time rehearsal run blueprints by John Gielgud, this historic staging achieved permanent immortality by casting international cinematic giant Richard Burton as the Prince of Denmark.
