Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk & Bill Burr Will Lead GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS on Broadway, Spring 2025 — Page 3

With this cast, I'd think they would want a bigger theatre than the Boorh anyways.

It would be a shame if Mary had to close for this Glengarry (assuming that Mary really does want to extend)."

No one is making Oh Mary do anything. Cole controls the future there.

ChairinMain said: "I've heard rumors (well, some sweaty guy on Tiktok shouted rumors at the world) that Oh Mary is intending to extend, so I'd be unsurprised if either Glengarry is circling another theater or Oh Mary is looking to transfer."

I'm hearing it's extending and staying at the Lyceum. GGR most likely will end up at the Belasco is what I'm hearing but they are still waiting on a theatre.

No matter what theater it's in, Jeffrey Richards will have to grapple with the fact that there isn't nearly as much buzz about this production as there was about the Pacino-Cannavale one.

Case in point: the full cast announcement was Thursday and aside from this Playbill piece I've seen barely a whimper (likely because they're not big names)

Donald Webber Jr as Williamson
John Pirruccello as Lingk
Howard W Overshown as Baylen

Studio 54 is not a Shubert Theater. There won’t be breathing down anybody’s neck.

The difference between MHE and Lempicka is that Lempicka received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews while MHE received universal acclaim. Their producers would be foolish to pull the plug this soon after that kind of critical reception. The next few weeks will be telling about how much that kind of reception means. It does mean that if the producers of Glengarry were buzzards around the Belasco as their Option A, they’re probably considering Options B and C after last night.

Well, I'll take back my words if next week MHE will gross over $700K (is this how much it costs to run it?). Pulling the plug early is a "humane death" in this case. The Great Gatsby got demolished by critiques and is still thriving.

MHE and GGR have the same producers FWIW

Where are people getting the figure that MHE costs $700K a week to run? The show has an impressive and techinically complicated set design but scenery is an element that is part of production costs. Weekly running costs includes things like actor crew and musician salaries, PR, costume and set maintanance. I have a hard time believing this 4 person musical costs $700K a week to "run"

Enough people have seen the offering documents/have friends part of the show that have confirmed this. Automation costs, development costs, rent, marketing... all of that isn't cheap.

This part of the article is kind of weird: He did THIS IS OUR YOUTH on Broadway in 2014 -- did he not remember?

Culkin apparently expected far more downtime when he signed up for the play, which co-stars Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKean and Bill Burr. “Then I talked to friends who do theater and have young kids, and I was like, ‘Wait, is it good?’ They’re like, ‘No, you never see your kids. You’re working every night. You never do bath time, bedtime. You get one night a week.’”

I’m confused why is this news? If they take off Sunday let them be.

He had been married for about a year in 2013. He and his wife have two young children now."



Still not quite getting your point. Do only people with children know that most shows have Sunday performances? Do childless actors, crew, etc. not know the days of the week?? In any event, as others have said this is not "news" , and perhaps the writer of the puff piece misinterpreted.
