David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Glengarry Glen Ross is set in a cutthroat Chicago real estate office where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers. Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job – a ruthless environment where each character will do anything to come out on top.
"Being a big fan of Bill Burr, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Succession, and pretty much everything Michael McKean has been in since I was a kid watching Coneheads, this was an absolute dream come true seeing all four of my favorite actors on one stage. Bob Odenkirk was amazing, absolutely owned the opening scene, the sets were incredible. My only complaint is that it wasn’t an hour or two longer. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I came home last night. If I had money to burn I’d see it 3 more times. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing this."

Writing brilliance come to life
"It was absolutely wonderful to witness incredible scenes and dialogue come to life from some of the most interesting and talented actors. I would have stayed and watched these great performers interact for another hour!"

All the actors were perfect for their roles!
"I think since it is a play with running conversations, the sound/mics need to be turned up. It was a little hard for me to catch all of the dialogue. I was trying to catch it all!!!!! "

Short but Powerful
"Kieran Culkin stands out in a loaded cast. The dialogue is fast, witty, and aggressive. Great show to see on a weeknight, as we were out in less than 2 hours."

A Mamet Classic with Comedic Bent
"The cast was spot on. The director clearly wanted to highlight the dark humor of Mamet’s classic, and casting native Chicagoan Odenkirk commits to the underbelly of sales and the pursuit of the masculine identity. McKean was delightful, and Burr was born for his role. Culkin was a little flat in Act 1, but such as it is with basically 3 monologues as an act, he’ll get his feet. I was a huge fan of the set design and the use of lighting in the second act was practical and quite fun. Overall, while some people may deride the star power of the show as a negative, the actor’s love of the written work shines through."

Perfectly cast - great performances
"This show was perfectly cast. I especially enjoyed seeing some of my favorite actors all in one show. It’s fast moving and a little lighthearted- lots of laughs. It really was a great show. "

As a fan of the Movie, I thought this was very good
"Bob Odenkirk skipped this one so we had the understudy, which was the only disappointment. Not that the understudy was bad, it was just impossible for him to take the Shelley Levine character to the desperation level that Jack Lemmon did in the film. I would liked to have seen if Bob Odenkirk could.I liked the way Kieran Culkin portrayed Ricky Roma. It seemed more real and less smarmy than in the movie and a bit more comical. Bill Burr was excellent and didn't even seem like he was acting. And Donald Webber Jr, the actor that played Williamson, gave him a sort of human element that Kevin Spacey didn't, though you still disliked that character. I am comparing a lot with the film since I am a big fan of it. I cannot compare it to any earlier renditions of the play. "

A show for people who aren't easily offended
"The stars of the show were superb. I was starstruck by Bob Odenkirk. His performance was superb.
The show is hard to follow, especially if you come in not knowing anything about the movie.
The writer included many offensive racial slurs, so it may not be for everyone. However, it is funny, sarcastic, and smart.
If you like Bill Burr, Bob Odenkirk or Kieran Culkin, then see it. Unfortunately, the seat prices are ridiculous. "

Star studded cast definitely closes
"Great cast with Culkin, Oderkirk and Burr shine with Mamet's dialogue. While fans of the film will be disappointed that the play does not feature Alec Balwin’s character or monologue, the cast is strong and hits all the right beats. "

Out of date
"The acting was spot on aggressive angry men who care less about anyone but themselves & the bottom line. However I enjoyed the interaction between the actors, they all were very strong."

Good acting, but an akward intermission and abrupt end
"I had higher hopes for this play and felt it could have been so much longer. The intermission occurred only about 25 to 30 mins in and felt out of place. The ending was really abrupt too. I understand if this adheres to the original, but felt there could have been a better adaptation or deviation from it. The acting was really good though and I was surprisingly impressed with Bill Burr. "

The movie is better
"I was excited to see a live stage version of one of my favorite movies with my favorite actors. But alas Kieran Culkin is not Al Pacino and even Bob Odenkirk is not Jack Lemon. They could not deliver the humanity and pathos which the movie is full of.They didn't stir my emotions at all."
