Glengarry Glen Ross will take over Palace Theatre this spring.
The revival of the David Mamet play, starring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr, will start previews at the theater March 10, ahead of a March 31 opening. The production is scheduled to play a strict 12-week limited run.
The play takes over the Palace Theatre after the abrupt closure of the Tammy Faye musical on Dec. 8. Tammy Faye had been the first Broadway production to play the theater after it underwent a multiyear renovation and was raised 30-feet in the air and was meant to usher in its grand reopening. The theater boasts a seating capacity of 1,306 and has typically been used for musicals, which are seen as drawing larger crowds, rather than plays.
The production will be directed by Patrick Marber, who won a 2023 Tony Award for his direction of Leopoldstadt. Odenkirk and Burr will make their Broadway debuts in the play.
Additional cast members include Michael McKean (Better Call Saul) as George Aaronow, Donald Webber Jr. (Our Town), Howard W. Overshown (The Lehman Trilogy) as Bylen and John Pirruccello making his Broadway debut as James Lingk.
The play is set in a Chicago real estate office, where four cutthroat salespeople compete against each other to sell properties. The person who sells the most wins a car, while whoever sells the lowest number loses their job.
The play premiered in London in 1983 before heading to Broadway in 1984 and winning the Pulitzer Prize in drama. The play was adapted into a 1992 film starring Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino and Alec Baldwin, with a new part written specifically for Baldwin.
Glengarry Glen Ross has had two Broadway revivals, in 2005, starring Alan Alda, Liev Schreiber and Jeffrey Tambor, and in 2012, starring Pacino, Bobby Cannavale and David Harbour.
Jeffrey Richards is the lead producer of this production, after working as the press agent on the original production in 1984 and producing the subsequent revivals.
