David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama “Glengarry Glen Ross” will receive a Broadway revival in spring 2025. Tony Award winner Patrick Marber will direct the production, which will star Kieran Culkin as Richard Roma, Bob Odenkirk as Shelly Levene and Bill Burr as Dave Moss. The revival will be produced by Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold.
“In 1983, I saw the original production of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ in London,” said Marber in a statement. “I was just 19. The play blew my young soul away. It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theater. 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.”
“Glengarry Glen Ross” is set in a cutthroat Chicago real estate office where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers. Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job — making for a ruthless environment in which each character will do anything to come out on top.
This revival will mark a Broadway return for Marber, who in 2023 won a Tony Award for helming “Leopoldstadt.” He received prior Tony nods for his direction of “Travesties” and “Closer.”
Culkin has appeared on Broadway once previously, in a 2014 revival of “This Is Our Youth.” He won a 2023 Emmy Award for his turn on the small-screen drama “Succession.”
Odenkirk, a television veteran, won Emmys for his writing efforts on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Ben Stiller Show.” More recently, he earned 13 Emmy nods as an actor and co-creator of the series “Better Call Saul,” a spinoff of “Breaking Bad.” “Glengarry” will mark Odenkirk’s Broadway debut.
Burr, a comedian and actor, is perhaps best known for his performance on “Breaking Bad” and for creating and headlining the Netflix animated sitcom “F Is for Family.” Burr was Emmy-nominated for “Immoral Compass.” “Glengarry” will be his first Broadway credit.
“Glengarry Glen Ross” debuted on Broadway in 1984, receiving a Tony Award nomination for Best Play and winning that year’s Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Since then, “Glengarry” has received two revivals, in 2005 and 2012.
In 2018, Richards and Gold announced a 2019 Broadway revival of “Glengarry” featuring an all-female cast, to be directed by Amy Morton. That production did not materialize.
Additional casting, creative team members, exact dates and a Broadway venue for the spring 2025 “Glengarry” revival will be announced.
