Bailey brings precision and camp charisma to Richard II
The Independent
|February 19, 2025

Right now, accusations of ill-advised stunt casting are being flung at the West End, but Nicholas Hytner's take on Shakespeare's corrupt king Richard II is innocent of these charges, at least. Although he's fresh from stealing the limelight in Wicked, star Jonathan Bailey has been landing big stage roles since he was in literal primary school, and he brings a wonderful clarity and charisma to this tale of a misbehaving, queer-coded despot.
