Jude Law's Hamlet was given a rapturous welcome on Broadway, with theatregoers and critics heaping praise on the actor.

One reviewer described his depiction of the brooding Danish prince as "spine-tingling" while another noted that he attacked the role with the vigour of a track athlete.

The production moved to the heart of New York's theatreland following a successful run in the West End. And according to the reviews, the British heart-throb didn't disappoint.
