As previously announced, Michael Stuhlbarg will play the title role, and Andre Braugher will play Claudius. Lauren Ambrose will play Ophelia and Sam Waterston will play Polonius, replacing previously announced stars Lily Rabe and Richard Easton, who withdrew due to scheduling conflicts.

Sanders as Ghost, Gravedigger, and Player King, Miriam Silverman as Player Queen, and Christopher Bonewitz, Matt Carlson, W. Tre Davis, Stephen James King, and Dana Lyn in the Ensemble.

The creative team will feature David Korins (sets), Ann Hould-Ward (costumes), Michael Chybowsku (lighting), and Acme Sound Partners (sound).
