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

    Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr will star in a Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross in spring 2025.

    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.

    The David Mamet 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.

    Culkin, well-known for his role as Roman Roy in Succession , previously appeared on Broadway in the 2014 production of This Is Our Youth, opposite Michael Cera. Odenkirk, known for his roles in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, began his career onstage in Chicago doing sketch and improv shows. Burr will come to the production after his Bill Burr Live tour and a comedy special set to be released on Hulu in 2025. Culkin will play Richard Roma, Odenkirk will play Shelly Levene and Burr will play Dave Moss.

    Additional cast, exact dates and the theater for the 2025 Broadway revival will be announced at a later date. Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold are the lead producers

    “In 1983, I saw the original production of Glengarry Glen Ross in London,” Marber said. “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.”
