Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr to Star on Broadway in “Glengarry Glen Ross” Next Spring

Share

Roman Roy and Saul Goodman are coming to Broadway.

Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk will top line David Mamet’s short but sour “Glengarry Glen Ross” next spring on the big stage. Comedian Bill Burr co-stars.

Culkin is loaded with awards from TV’s “Succession.” Likewise, Odenkirk has been praised up and down for “Better Call Saul.”

Patrick Marber will direct.

The saga of a bunch of nasty real estate agents in their office has had many incarnations on stage, as well as a great movie. Mamet’s script is oft-quoted, and the play itself has become a staple.

Culkin and Odenkirk are inspired casting. Burr might actually be playing himself.

In real life, Mamet has gone from being a critics darling to a PR nightmare as he’s expressed more and more right wing, off the wall political views that have startled his former friends

This should be good!
