I would call this the "Definitive" production of Glengarry Glen Ross.
The ensemble was tight and it was thoroughly entertaining - and funny. Mamet's affected dialogue really came to life. Bill Burr was perfection as the loudmouth scheming Moss. He got a round of applause from the audience at the end of Act 1 and at his exit in Act 2. The applause didn't bother me (I admit, I joined in) because you could feel the swell of glowing admiration for "a job well done" in those moments. With so much of the cast well-known for their other work it was no surprise that the audience was rooting for them too.
I'm glad we were up close in the third row in order to catch Michael McKean's wordless facial reactions and expressions. Kieran Culkin was fun to watch as he jumped about in super high energy mode. Bob Odenkirk played on our heartstrings, coming across like a battered Saul Goodman.
In addition to being an overall great production, the cast was super friendly at the stage door after yesterday's matinee. I had befriended John Pirruccello, who played the hapless mark Lengk, on Instagram and he was very kind to me as he personalized my playbill.
For the past year, I battled breast cancer and I am happy to say I am in remission. Yesterday was my Cancer is Gone party, which I decided to celebrate taking in a show with my husband, daughter and son-in-law. Missed you Broadway! Glad to be back!
