Two-time Academy Award winner and Tony Award nominated George Clooney made his Broadway debut earlier this year as Edward R. Murrow, showcasing his 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. Good Night, and Good Luck also made history by becoming the highest-grossing play in Broadway history, and the first play to surpass a gross of $4 million in a single week.
