Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk & Bill Burr Will Lead GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS on Broadway

Mamet is back on Broadway this season! One of the  playwright's most celebrated works will get its third Broadway revival in 2025. Kieran Culkin,  Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr will lead the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross, directed by Tony & Olivier Award Winner Patrick Marber. Odenkirk and Burr are set to make their Broadway debuts in the play.

The production is set to open on Broadway in the spring of 2025. Additional cast, exact dates, full design team, and Broadway theatre will be announced at a later date. Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold are the lead producers.

Glengarry Glen Ross debuted on Broadway in 1984 and was revived in 2005 (starring Alan Alda, Liev Schreiber, and Jeffrey Tambor) and 2012 (starring Al Pacino, Bobby Cannavale, and David Harbour). A 1992 film version starred Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Jonathan Pryce.

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

David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Glengarry Glen Ross is set in a cutthroat Chicago real estate office where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers. Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job – a ruthless environment where each character will do anything to come out on top.

In previous seasons, Culkin won a Critics Choice Award, and was nominated for multiple Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards. “Succession” received a 2022 SAG Award for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series”. In 2002, Culkin starred in Igby Goes Down for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a Critics Choice Award in the category of “Best Young Actor” for his performance as “Igby”. In November 2021 Kieran hosted “Saturday Night Live”. On stage, Kieran starred opposite Michael Cera in the Broadway production of This Is Our Youth, reprising the role of “Dennis” after performing in both Steppenwolf Theatre and Sydney Opera House’s productions. Culkin also made his West End debut in the same play as the role of “Warren.” He received an Obie Award for his performance as “Justin Hammond” in the Vineyard Theatre’s production of Gina Gionfriddo's After Ashley.

Bob Odenkirk (Shelly Levene). Bob Odenkirk is an Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, actor, and New York Times bestselling author. In 2015, Bob Odenkirk reprised the character he originated on the hit drama Breaking Bad, playing the title role in AMC's Better Call Saul, which earned him a Critics Choice TV Award, six Emmy nominations, as well as Golden Globe, and SAG Award nominations. Odenkirk began his stage career in Chicago in 1984, doing sketch and improv shows all around town. He produced and starred in the play "Line" by Israel Horowitz, the first production of Chicago's "Prop" theatre. His early years onstage consisted mainly of sketch shows, many of which he was a primary writer. After being hired as a staff writer at Saturday Night Live in 1997, every summer was spent onstage, first with his friends, Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien in "Happy Happy GoodShow", then in his well-reviewed one man show, "Show-Acting-Guy" and a Second City mainstage revue "Flag Smoking Permitted in Lobby Only" which featured the first appearance of Chris Farley as "Matt Foley, the Motivational Speaker", penned by Odenkirk. In 1991 Bob moved to Los Angeles and soon pulled in his second writing emmy for "The Ben Stiller Show", but his greatest writing achievement was to come. "Mr. Show with Bob and David" on HBO from 1995-1998, was his personal valhalla, a place where Bob's brain was on full display (married with the hilarious brain of his life-long friend, David Cross). The show became and remains a "cult hit", dubbed "The American Monty Python" by David Wild in Rolling Stone Magazine, "Mr. Show" inspired legions of comedy actors and writers. Bob performed in countless "Mr. Show" pieces, but his journey as an actor got a powerful boost upon being cast as "Saul Goodman" in Breaking Bad, season 2. Over the next four years on that show, followed by six in the beautifully scripted and complex "Better Call Saul", Bob's crash course in drama acting expanded and deepened. This experience led to roles in Steven Spielberg's "The Post", Greta Gerwig's "Little Women", and Alexander Payne's "Nebraska". In a surprising move, Odenkirk then starred in the action film Nobody (Universal), which achieved a #1 debut at the US box office in 2021, and which opened up yet another avenue of performance for him. Bob is currently shooting the sequel: "Nobody 2", and soon after will shoot the suspense-action film "Normal", also scripted by Derek Kolstad, the creator of Nobody and the John Wick franchise. Bob is excited to return to the stage in his favorite play, David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross", eager to rediscover the live stage work that filled the first half of his career.

An Emmy and Grammy Award nominee, Bill Burr is a singular voice of his generation, defining his own path as a world-renown comedian, director/writer/producer/star of a #1 film on Netflix, critically acclaimed dramatic and comedic actor, writer, producer, and a genre-defining podcaster for over 15 years.

Bill has hosted “Saturday Night Live” and has wowed critics and fans with dramatic TV roles including his scene-stealing, fan-favorite role as Migs Mayfeld in The Mandalorian; Coach Bobson in the hit FX on Hulu series, “Reservation Dogs”; and Saul Goodman’s henchman, Kuby, on “Breaking Bad”. Bill hosts the groundbreaking Monday Morning Podcast. In 2023 he was the first comedian to perform at the 5,000-seat ancient Roman amphitheater, The Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, Greece, and in 2022 he made history as the first comedian to perform at Fenway Park.
