Benedict Cumberbatch will not play "Hamlet" on the British stage until the summer of 2015, but the Shakespeare production has already set ticket-sale records for London theater productions.
Benedict Cumberbatch出演的舞臺劇《哈姆雷特》要2015年夏季才會登上舞臺，不過這部莎士比亞舞臺劇卻早早的已經(jīng)破了倫敦劇院舞臺劇的售票記錄了。

Tickets for the "Sherlock" star's play only went on sale on Monday, Aug. 11. As of Tuesday (Aug. 12), the demand for "Hamlet" tickets had already reached a number four times higher than the previous London box-office winner, "A Streetcar Named Desire" (which starred Gillian Anderson).
這位《神探夏洛克》男主出演的舞臺劇門票8月11日剛剛開賣第一天，而剛剛開賣一天，到第二天售票記錄就是之前的售票記錄保持著《A Streetcar Named Desire》的4倍。

It's not just theater that the "Sherlock" star is dominating in the ticket-sale world. Viagogo, a ticket website in London, says that "Hamlet" has generated 214 percent more ticket sales than even Beyonce and Jay Z's On the Run world tour.
Benedict發(fā)揮神威的地方還不僅僅是劇院這一條賣票渠道。買票網(wǎng)站Viagogo倫敦站上售出這部《哈姆雷特》的票數(shù)甚至比Beyonce和Jay Z的世界輪回演唱會還要多。

"The tragedy has instead become the success story for theater in 2015," Viagogo tells The Hollywood Reporter. "But will Benedict be or not be a worthy Hamlet -- that is the question."
“這部悲劇反而成了2015年舞臺劇界的最大成功案例，”Viagogo網(wǎng)站接受《好萊塢報道者》采訪時表示。“但是Benedict的表演得值不值得大家如此風靡——就要看到時候上演的情況了。

The answer to that question will come during the play's 12-week run beginning Aug. 5, 2015.
這個問題也只能在2015年5月5日開始的12個星期演出時間里能得到答案了。
