Broadway’s starry 2024-2025 seasonjust keeps getting starrier!
On Thursday, Aug. 8, lead producers Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold announced a new revival of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning dramaGlengarry Glen Ross, this time starringKieran Culkin,Bob OdenkirkandBill Burr.
Culkin, 41 — who just wrapped his Emmy Award-winning run inSuccession— has been on the boards before but this production will mark the Broadway debut of both Odenkirk, 61, and Burr, 56.
Direction will come from Tony winner Patrick Marber, who said in a statement that the play “blew my young soul away” when he saw its original 1983 production in London at just 19 years old.
“It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theatre,” said Marber. “Forty years later, I am so thrilled to be directing it on Broadway with these incredible actors. I will do my utmost to ensure that this great American play brings audiences the same great pleasures it brought to me.”
More information — including additional casting, a location and specific run dates — will be announced at later date. The production is set to open in the spring of 2025.
Glengarry Glen Rossfollows two days in “a cutthroat Chicago real estate office ,where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers,” according to an official synopsis. “Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job — a ruthless environment where each character will do anything to come out on top.”
The play premiered at the National Theatre in London before opening on Broadway in March 1984. Starring Joe Mantegna, Mike Nussbaum, Robert Prosky, Lane Smith, James Tolkan, Jack Wallace and J. T. Walsh, the production was nominated for four Tony Awards including best play.
A film adaptation was released in 1992, with Mamet penning the screenplay and with James Foley directing. The cast featured a superstar roster of A-list talent at the time includingAl Pacino,Jack Lemmon,Alec Baldwin(in a role created for the film),Ed Harris,Alan Arkin,Kevin SpaceyandJonathan Pryce.
