Ilana Glazer and more join George Clooney in 'Good Night, and Good Luck' on Broadway cast

Both Clooney and Glazer make their Broadway debuts in the stage adaptation of his 2005 historical drama film, which has now set its complete cast.

Complete casting has been set for Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, starring Academy Award winner George Clooney. Performances begin March 12 ahead of an April 3 opening at the Winter Garden Theatre.

Clooney, who makes his Broadway debut in the role of Edward R. Murrow, appeared alongside his co-stars at a press conference held today outside the Winter Garden, where director David Cromer announced the cast. Joining Clooney are Ilana Glazer as Shirley Wershba, making her own Broadway debut as an actor; Georgia Heers as Ella, Paul Gross as William F. Paley, Glenn Fleshler as Fred Friendly, Fran Kranz as Palmer Williams, Andrew Polk as Charlie Mack, Christopher Denham as John Aaron, Will Dagger as Don Hewitt, Mac Brandt as Colonel Anderson, Aaron Roman Weiner as Don Surine, Carter Hudson as Joe Wershba, Michael Nathanson as Eddie Scott, Jennifer Morris as Millie Lerner, and Clark Gregg as Doc Hollenbeck.

The ensemble includes R. Ward Duffy, Joe Forbrich, Imani Rousselle, Greg Stuhr, JD Taylor, and Sophia Tzougros.

"We're very excited to be doing this play. We're excited to be here," Clooney said.

Good Night, and Good Luck is adapted from the same-named 2005 film directed by Clooney and co-written by Clooney and Heslov, who also collaborated on the play's script. The show follows the public battle between journalist Edward R. Murrow and anti-Communist senator Joseph McCarthy over issues of truth, corruption, ethics, and the press.

"The fun part about this is we get to do a play about a subject matter that's very close to our hearts, which is about everything that you guys do, which is telling the truth, and truth to power," Clooney said, addressing the press gathered at the event. "It's not a civics lesson; it's entertainment."

Good Night, and Good Luck also features scenic design by Scott Pask, lighting design by Heather Gilbert, video and projections design by David Bengali, sound design by Daniel Kluger, costume design by Brenda Abbandandolo, hair and wig design by Leah J. Loukas, music supervision by Daniel Kluger and Bryan Carter, and voice and dialect coaching by Gigi Buffington.
