Tune in to the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s (George Clooney) legendary, history-altering, 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.
Under the direction of Tony Award®-winner David Cromer, from the original screenwriters Clooney and Grant Heslov, Good Night, and Good Luck chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation—and won.
"A moving, entertaining, and impactful show that shows the art of theatre at its best. I hope that the show can expand viewership options after this brief run is complete. It’s important that many more people see this show. "

Superior performances for a critically relevant story
"Acting outstanding especially Clooney’s role as Murrow. Set design and creative work to show broadcast TV of the times very well done. Murrow’s story in and of itself must be told. However, in these tumultuous times it’s even more critical to do so. I was prepared for a very good show. I left knowing I had witnessed excellence and courage in art and acting. The ending took my breath away. Thank you to all involved. "

More relevant today than ever!
"Great staging, great pace. Clooney was outstanding. As chilling and powerful as the play was in communicating what was happening at that time, in the context of what’s happening today in this country, it’s not only relevant, but a terrifying warning to all that care about democracy. Brilliant!"

Excellent screenplay. So relevant for today. Would recommend every school child over 13 years have an opportunity to see it. The short compilation video should be broadcast by any organization concerned with our “democracy.” Thank you George Clooney. "

Speaking Truth to power
"Wow! What a great show! All the actors were sensational. It was put together so well. The sets were amazing, we felt as if we were back in the 50s, living through McCarthyism again! UsingMurrow’s actual words, Clooney debated a video of Tail Gunner Joe, and politicians today could take a lesson or two."

This show was right on time and important, with a message that resonates. It is a call to action delivered oh so well by Clooney and the entire cast.
