Clooney's Broadway debut brings Murrow’s fearless stand against McCarthyism to life.
In a defining Broadway moment, two-time Academy Award® winner George Clooney steps onto the stage for his debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, an intense adaptation of the acclaimed film.
Set during the golden era of broadcast journalism, the story follows Edward R. Murrow (portrayed by Clooney) as he faces off against Senator Joseph McCarthy in a groundbreaking on-air clash. Amidst the rise of McCarthyism and its grip on America, Murrow and his team at CBS take a stand, risking national backlash to confront the growing tide of fear and misinformation.
With Tony Award®-winning director David Cromer and original screenwriters Clooney and Grant Heslov, Good Night, and Good Luck powerfully revisits a moment in American history when truth in journalism took on fearmongering and won.
