About Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

Tune in to the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s (George Clooney) legendary, history-altering, on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthyism casts a shadow over America, Murrow and his news team choose to confront the growing tide of paranoia and propaganda, even if it means turning the federal government and a worried nation against them. 

Under the direction of Tony Award®-winner David Cromer, from the original screenwriters Clooney and Grant Heslov, Good Night, and Good Luck chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation—and won.

Superior performances for a critically relevant story
"Acting outstanding especially Clooney’s role as Murrow. Set design and creative work to show broadcast TV of the times very well done. Murrow’s story in and of itself must be told. However, in these tumultuous times it’s even more critical to do so. I was prepared for a very good show. I left knowing I had witnessed excellence and courage in art and acting. The ending took my breath away. Thank you to all involved. "

Phenomenal acting in a timely drama
"Although the McCarthy purges happened before I was born, the parallels to todays American politics makes this a must-see play. The superb acting makes it even more of a draw."

More relevant today than ever!
"Great staging, great pace. Clooney was outstanding. As chilling and powerful as the play was in communicating what was happening at that time, in the context of what’s happening today in this country, it’s not only relevant, but a terrifying warning to all that care about democracy. Brilliant!"
