The previously announced Broadway premiere of Good Night, and Good Luck, co-written by and starring George Clooney, has found its theatre and has set an opening night. Previews will begin March 12, 2025 at the Winter Garden Theatre ahead of an April 3 opening night.
Tickets will go on sale for American Express Card Members beginning November 12 at 10 AM ET, with a fan pre-sale beginning November 14 at 10 AM ET with registration at GoodNightGoodLuckBroadway.com. General sales begin November 15 at 4 PM ET.
Clooney and Grant Heslov have penned the stage adaptation from their 2005 screenplay, and David Cromer will direct.
A work of historical drama, Good Night, and Good Luck centers on a clash between famed journalist Murrow and infamous U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, of anti-communist HUAC fame. The title comes from Murrow's broadcast sign-off. Clooney starred on screen as Murrow's co-producer, Fred W. Friendly, and will lead the stage version as Edward R. Murrow, the role played by David Strathairn on screen. Clooney also directed the original film.
“Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape," said Cromer in an earlier statement. "There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience.
Clooney is one of several high-profile movie stars making Broadway appearances this season, which also includes Robert Downey, Jr. in Lincoln Center Theater's McNeal, Jim Parsons and Katie Holmes in Our Town, David Hyde Pierce in Roundabout's The Pirates of Penzance, Mia Farrow (opposite Patti LuPone) in The Roommate, Daniel Dae Kim in Yellow Face, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal in Othello, and Sarah Snook in The Picture of Dorian Gray.
