Broadway's new Glengarry Glen Ross revival, now in previews at the Palace Theatre ahead of a March 31 opening, has revealed a "final" extension and will now perform through June 28 with the current, all-male cast. The extension finality means that earlier reports of an all-female replacement cast will not come to fruition.
An all-female Broadway revival was announced for 2019 with Amy Morton set to direct, though it never materialized. Notably, that production was to have been produced by two of the current revival's producers, Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold. Richards also produced the work's 2005 and 2012 Broadway outings.
The current revival began previews March 10. Tony winner Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt) is at the helm.
The cast is led by 2025 Academy Award winner Kieran Culkin as Richard Roma, Bob Odenkirk as Shelley Levene, and Bill Burr as Dave Moss, with Michael McKean as George Aaronow, Donald Webber Jr. as John Williamson, Howard W. Overshown as Baylen, and John Pirruccello as James Lingk. Understudies Alex Purcell, Jordan Lage, and Peter Bradbury round out the company. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Will Cantler and Destiny Lilly.

Glengarry Glen Ross, which premiered at London's National in 1983 before making a Broadway debut in 1984, centers on four Chicago real estate agents. Over two days, the group stops at nothing to make the next sale, primarily the prime real estate in Glengarry Highlands that they want to turn into a repeat of their past success with Glen Ross Farms. The play has proved to be one of, if not the, most successful of Mamet's catalogue, hitting the big screen in an Academy Award-nominated 1992 film and returning to Broadway in 2005 and 2012. The work also earned Mamet a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1984.
Marber's staging features production design by Scott Pask and lighting design by Jen Schriever. Barclay Stiff serves as production stage manager.
Richards, Gold, Caiola Productions, and Roy Furman lead the producing team.
