[4] A National Theatre Live recording was screened in over 380[5] cinemas on 27 January (Holocaust Memorial Day), 2022 and topped that night's UK and Ireland box office.

[7] Patrick Marber, who worked with Stoppard on the revival of Travesties in London and New York, commented that "It's a big company play which as a director is incredibly exciting to do.

"[8] During rehearsals he "instituted a fabulous regime of lectures" given by cast members, allotting each a subject relevant to the play's themes to investigate.

[12] Stoppard told BBC Radio 4 that Leopoldstadt may be his last play[13]—though in October 2021 he acknowledged, in a CNN interview with Christiane Amanpour, that he was reconsidering: "I'm a playwright, by more than, as it were, labeling.

"[14] The Wyndham's production's set design was by Richard Hudson, costumes by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting by Neil Austin, sound and original music by Adam Cork and movement by EJ Boyle.

The initial cast list[16] was announced on 25 October 2019[17] and included Adrian Scarborough, Alexis Zegerman, Luke Thallon and Stoppard's son, Ed.

[18][19] Its originally intended North American premiere was to have taken place at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto,[20] for a seven-week engagement with the London cast, however it was announced that the run would no longer go ahead because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[25][26] John Malkovich staged the first Latvian language production of the play at Dailes Theatre which opened on 15 September 2023 in Riga, Latvia.

[27] On this production he worked with the Dailes Theatre repertoire company, but employed his own frequent collaborators Pierre-François Limbosch & Birgit Hutter in the art department.

Almost every major work he has produced since he burst onto the scene with his Hamlet spin-off Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in 1966 has been met with high anticipation.

Evans added that "any summary of scenes and timeline descriptions of Leopoldstadt can't begin to convey the richness of Stoppard's work," noting that "mathematics, not surprisingly, comes into play, as it so often does with Stoppard, but so too does Zionism and modern art and so many other aspects of 20th Century political history that Leopoldstadt can at times seem like a right and proper companion piece to Ken Burns' wonderful The U.S. and the Holocaust documentary.
