"I am beyond thrilled to be participating in this historic season as theatre reemerges, and to be working with two such masterful actors on one of dramatic literature’s most challenging and epic dramas," Sam added.
"I can’t wait to get started!"

For the special occasion on Tuesday, the actor was accompanied by his eldest daughter, Ella Loudon.

Previews of Macbeth begin on 29 March, with the show officially opening for a 15-week limited run on 28 April at the Lyceum Theatre in Manhattan, New York City.
