Leading the production is Kieran Culkin, renowned for his role in “Succession,” portraying the ambitious real estate agent Richard Roma. Culkin returns to Broadway after a decade, bringing depth to a character celebrated for his persuasive prowess. Joining him is Bob Odenkirk, making his Broadway debut as the beleaguered Shelly Levene. Odenkirk, acclaimed for “Better Call Saul,” delves into the complexities of a salesman past his prime, striving for one last triumph. Comedian Bill Burr steps into the role of the scheming Dave Moss, marking another notable Broadway debut. The ensemble is further enriched by Michael McKean as the hesitant George Aaronow, Donald Webber Jr. as the authoritative John Williamson, Howard W. Overshown as Detective Baylen, and John Pirruccello as the unsuspecting client James Lingk.
The Pebble Bar event was a confluence of theatrical luminaries and industry insiders. Director Patrick Marber, a Tony and Olivier Award-winner, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “In 1983, I saw the original production of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ in London. I was just 19. 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.”
Attendees were treated to insights into the production’s direction, with Marber emphasizing a contemporary approach while honoring Mamet’s sharp dialogue and character dynamics. The cast discussed their interpretations, with Culkin noting the timeless relevance of the play’s themes of ambition and morality.
