Set in a competitive Chicago real estate office, 'Glengarry Glen Ross' explores the cutthroat world of salesmen vying to sell mostly worthless properties, creating a high-stakes environment.
The play has a storied history, having been adapted into a 1992 Academy Award-nominated film featuring a star-studded cast, and previously revived on Broadway in 2005 and 2012.
Originally premiering at London's National Theatre in 1983, the play made its Broadway debut in 1984 and has since become a significant part of Mamet's oeuvre.
In addition to his Broadway role, McKean will appear in Season 2 of Netflix’s 'The Diplomat', which premiered on October 31, 2024, and is set to reprise his role in the upcoming sequel to 'This Is Spinal Tap'.
The revival will be directed by Tony-winning Patrick Marber, known for his acclaimed work on 'Leopoldstadt', marking the fourth Broadway revival of this iconic play.
Marber expressed his excitement about directing the play, recalling its profound influence on his career in theatre.
McKean's character, George Aaronow, was previously portrayed by Alan Arkin in the 1993 film adaptation and originated by Mike Nussbaum on Broadway in 1984.
Producers Jeffrey Richards and Rebbeca Gold are behind the revival, with more details about the creative team and ticket sales to be announced soon.
