George Clooney’s play “Good Night, and Good Luck” is making waves on Broadway, breaking box office records left and right since its opening on April 3. Now, in a historic move, the Tony-nominated play is set to broadcast a live production on the penultimate night of its Broadway run.
The announcement of the live performance on CNN next month has excited Broadway fans who may not have been able to afford the high ticket prices for the show. George Clooney expressed his enthusiasm for this groundbreaking move, stating that he is thrilled to bring the story of courage to a wider audience through live TV on CNN.
The live broadcast is scheduled for June 7, the night before the final performance of the play. As the show comes to a close, it is also up for five Tony Awards, including a nomination for leading actor in a play for George Clooney. With record-breaking revenue numbers, “Good Night, and Good Luck” has become the highest-grossing play in Broadway history, grossing $4 million in one week.
