Good Night, and Good Luck Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More

Murrow and McCarthy are going head to head on Broadway! Hollywood superstar George Clooney makes his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, which is based on his  2005 film. The play chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation—and won. 

David Cromer will direct Clooney in the electrifying stage adaptation, which is written by Clooney and Grant Heslov.

The 2005 film also starred David Strathairn, Patricia Clarkson, Jeff Daniels, Robert Downey Jr., and Frank Langella. It earned Clooney directing and writing Oscar nominations, and the film was nominated for Best Picture.

What's it all about? It's the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s legendary, history-altering, on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthyism casts a shadow over America, Murrow and his team at CBS choose to confront the growing tide of paranoia and propaganda, even if it means turning the federal government and a worried nation against them. 

Edward Roscoe Murrow was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained prominence during World War II with a series of live radio broadcasts from Europe for the news division of CBS. A pioneer of radio and television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his television program See It Now which helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy. 

Tune in and find out how the story unfolds on Broadway.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Good Night, and Good Luck

Good Night and Good Luck Broadway Review. George Clooney as anti-authoritarian crusader
7 / 10

If there’s not much change in content, ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’ is transformed by its context. On the night I attended, the audience treated the play like the gathering of the like-minded at a public square, responding to this real-life drama from the 1950s as if a comment on life in America under Donald Trump.

Good Night, and Good Luck: Movie-to-Stage-to-Video
5 / 10

What was galvanizing onscreen is curiously lifeless onstage, its airless quality not helped by the lackluster staging from the normally superb David Cromer. Despite running a mere 90 intermission-less minutes, the play feels much longer...
