Jonathan Bailey Returns to the Stage, Takes Bow at ‘Richard II’ Press Night in London! | Broadway, Jonathan Bailey | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

Jonathan Bailey is returning to his stage roots!

The 36-year-old actor was photographed taking his bow during the press night performance of the play Richard II on Tuesday (February 18) at the Bridge Theatre in London, England.

Jonathan is taking on the Shakespeare role in a brand new production and he’s earned strong reviews for his work in the play.

“It’s a feast of a play and really speaks to our times – it’s fascinating to explore a king who has a cast iron right to rule,” Jonathan told BBC.

“It makes me so happy to inspire a new generation of young people coming to the theatre,” he added. “If 10 people per show come and see Shakespeare for the first time then I’m doing something right.”

Richard II is running in London through May 10. Get tickets now!
