Broadway's high-grossing revival of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross has recouped its entire initial investment in nine weeks, as of the week ending May 12. In its most recent week on the Main Stem, the production broke the house record at the Palace Theatre with a weekly take of $2.4 million.

2025 Oscar winner Kieran Culkin leads the cast as Richard Roma, with 2025 Tony nominee Bob Odenkirk as Shelley Levene, Bill Burr as Dave Moss, Michael McKean as George Aaronow, Donald Webber Jr. as John Williamson, Howard W. Overshown as Baylen, and John Pirruccello as James Lingk.

The production is one of several plays featuring A-list Hollywood stars above the title, all of which are dominating the Broadway box office. The George Clooney-led Good Night, and Good Luck announced its own recoupment earlier this week, and the Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal-led Othello recouped as of May 1.

Glengarry Glen Ross is continuing a twice-extended limited engagement at the Palace, with performances to continue through June 28. The revival opened March 31 after beginning previews March 10. Tony winner Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt) is at the helm.

Understudies Alex Purcell, Jordan Lage, and Peter Bradbury round out the company. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Will Cantler and Destiny Lilly.

Glengarry Glen Ross, which premiered at London's National in 1983 before making a Broadway debut in 1984, centers on four Chicago real estate agents. Over two days, the group stops at nothing to make the next sale, primarily the prime real estate in Glengarry Highlands that they want to turn into a repeat of their past success with Glen Ross Farms. The play has proved to be one of, if not the, most successful of Mamet's catalogue, hitting the big screen in an Academy Award-nominated 1992 film and returning to Broadway in 2005 and 2012. The work also earned Mamet a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1984.

Marber's staging features production design by Scott Pask and lighting design by Jen Schriever. Barclay Stiff serves as production stage manager.

Jeffrey Richards, Rebecca Gold, Caiola Productions, and Roy Furman lead the producing team.
