Acclaimed actor and film favorite George Clooney is on his way to Broadway. The two-time Academy Award winner makes his Broadway debut as Edward R. Murrow in the stage adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre this spring. After years of enjoying his performances on screen, now is your chance to catch Clooney live on stage. We've got all you need to know about his upcoming visit to Broadway.
All About Good Night, and Good Luck
First seen on screen in 2005, Good Night, and Good Luck takes audiences back to the golden age of broadcast journalism, most specifically Edward R. Murrow's legendary on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthyism casts a shadow over America, Murrow and his news team choose to confront the growing tide of paranoia and propaganda, even if it means turning the federal government and a worried nation against them.
The stage adaptation of the film is written by the team behind the screen version, George Clooney and Grant Heslov. Tony Award winner David Cromer directs.
