All-Female Glengarry Glen Ross Expected to Replace Current Cast on Broadway

The Broadway revival of David Mamet's 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' featuring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr, has extended its run twice and is now set to close on June 14, 2025. There is speculation about replacing the current cast with an all-female ensemble later this summer, a concept that has garnered interest over the years and was previously explored in readings. The production, directed by Patrick Marber, is currently in previews and will officially open on March 31 at the Palace Theatre. While the producers have not confirmed the all-female cast plans, they acknowledged past interest from Mamet and producer Jeffrey Richards regarding this direction. The original play, which premiered in 1984, critiques the ruthless nature of salesmanship in a Chicago real estate office, traditionally portrayed through a male lens. An all-female adaptation has been discussed before, with a failed attempt in 2018 and previous readings featuring notable actresses.
