Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr to star in Broadway revival of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’

Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr are set to star in a Broadway revival of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play "Glengarry Glen Ross" in spring 2025 as reported by Deadline. The production will be directed by Tony-winning director Patrick Marber, known for his work on "Leopoldstadt."

This revival marks Culkin’s return to Broadway, following his performance in "This Is Our Youth" in 2014. It will also be the Broadway debuts for both Odenkirk and Burr. The announcement of additional cast members, exact dates, the full design team, and the Broadway venue will follow.

“In 1983, I saw the original production of Glengarry Glen Ross in London,” Marber recalled. “I was just nineteen. The play blew my young soul away. It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theatre. 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 unsuspecting customers. The stakes are high: the top seller wins a car, while the lowest performer loses their job, creating a ruthless environment of fierce competition.

Culkin, best known for his role as Roman Roy in HBO’s "Succession," will portray Richard Roma, the ruthless salesman originally played by Joe Mantegna on Broadway in 1984 and by Al Pacino in the 1992 film adaptation. Odenkirk, famed for his roles in "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," will play Shelly Levine, the older salesman, a role previously performed by Robert Prosky on Broadway and Jack Lemmon in the film. Burr, a popular stand-up comedian, will take on the role of Dave Moss, the ranting salesman originally portrayed by James Tolkan on Broadway and Ed Harris in the movie.

The production is produced by Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold. The revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross" promises to bring fresh energy to Mamet’s critically acclaimed play, engaging audiences with its intense portrayal of ambition and desperation in the real estate world.
