George Clooney Makes Broadway Debut in “Good Night, and Good Luck” Stage Adaptation
In a landmark theatrical event, two-time Academy Award® winner George Clooney makes his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, an electrifying stage adaptation of the acclaimed 2005 film. Bringing the golden age of broadcast journalism to Broadway, this riveting production captures the essence of the original movie while showcasing Clooney’s talent on the stage.
Clooney portrays Edward R. Murrow, the legendary CBS journalist who fearlessly confronted Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare era.

The story unfolds more than 70 years ago but resonates with contemporary issues of political corruption and media integrity.

Witness history come alive on stage and be captivated by Clooney’s Tony-nominated performance that captivates audiences and critics alike.
