About Good Night, and Good Luck

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.

Fantastic! Among Best Shows I have ever attended!
"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. "

Phenomenal acting in a timely drama
"Although the McCarthy purges happened before I was born, the parallels to todays American politics makes this a must-see play. The superb acting makes it even more of a draw."

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!"

History repeats
"This show is very relevant for the times we live today. We must know when to appropriately resist overzealous politicians and support the three co-equal branches of government defined in our Constitution. "

A Night of Great Luck
"The play follows the movie fairly well, with some updates at the end. I would recommend seeing the movie (of the same name) first. It is a testament to the courage of many in journalism, and is as relevant now as it was seventy years ago. We we fortunate to get tickets , I hope you are as well!"

Timely, relevant and educational
" 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. "

Loved the show!
"Felt the subject matter was so relevant to our current situation. It was an opportunity for people to more clearly understand the risks that come with creating fear to justify trampling on people's rights."

Absolutely brilliant!
"Topical when it was first written, even more relevant today. Great screenplay, acting and props. I would highly recommend that it’s recording is run on CBS and PBS just like BBC’s Shakespearean plays. The message needs to reach a wider audience."

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 Needs a Long Run Far and Wide
"A must see! 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. I enjoyed the few musical interludes woven into the show and would love to hear more from the singer. She really set the tone. Go see it before it is gone!"

The best play I have ever seen.
"This play is so timely. It should be available for everyone in this country to see. Perhaps remake the movie by adding the play’s ending. This would allow everyone it see it."
