A revival of David Mamet's quintessential Tony/Pulitzer Play that delivers a real estate den-of-thieves in a 1983 backdrop of intense high pressure selling
What's Glengarry Glen Ross Like?
The play is set in an a Chicago real estate office in the early nineteen eighties where the high pressure of selling worthless properties to unsuspecting buyers is starting to take its toll. The sales manager has set up a new challenge for the top salesman to win a new car; while the salesman in last place gets fired.
The desperate salesmen will do anything to keep their jobs and this is the original Shark Tank, with the amount of theft and deception that takes place, for all the wrong reasons.
When the office is robbed of its cash stored in the safe, it's up to the sales manager to figure who did it, but with a den of thieves it really could be any of them, even him.
Is Glengarry Glen Ross Good for Kids?
This show is suitable for children 12 and older.
Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway Background
Glengarry Glen Ross is David Mamet's Tony/Pulitzer Award winning play that has had great success on both film and Broadway.
Fourth Incarnation on Broadway
This is the fourth incarnation of the play on Broadway, where the show originally debuted on Broadway in 1984, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, but not a Tony Award. The 1992 movie starred Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon and Alec Baldwin and received an Oscar nomination, but again no award.
In this production, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr will both make their Broadway debuts with the production. Kieran Culkin previously made his Broadway debut in widely acclaimed 2014's This Is Our Youth.

All Female Cast Version of The Show Failed To Materialize in 2018
An all-female cast production of Glengarry Glen Ross was announced for Broadway in 2018 and was set to be the fourth incarnation of the show. The production was slated to be directed by Amy Morton, and was intended to feature an all-female ensemble taking on the traditionally male roles.
The production did not materialize and thus never made it to Broadway and was shelved.
