George Clooney, celebrated for his film and television career, has recently found major success as a Broadway actor and is now considering moving his acclaimed production of Good Night, and Good Luck to London’s West End. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on June 2, 2025, Clooney revealed discussions of a possible tour and hinted that London engagements could be in the works for the George Clooney Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck London West End.
On the program hosted by Meyers, Clooney said,
There’s going to be a roadshow for it, and I think it might end up in London, but it won’t be the same thing as what we’re doing now.
—George Clooney, Actor & Producer
While potential future plans seem promising, there have not yet been any official announcements regarding dates or a confirmed West End theater for the London production.
Historic Broadway Broadcast Set for CNN
Before any new productions are formally announced, Good Night, and Good Luck is attracting attention as it prepares for an unprecedented live broadcast. The penultimate performance at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York on Saturday, June 7, 2025, will air live on CNN at 7pm US Eastern Standard Time. This marks a first for the Broadway stage and provides wider access to the performance.
The event will include special programming before and after the main broadcast, exploring themes from the production—such as the modern challenges facing journalism—that resonate with the original story’s focus. Future streaming opportunities for the broadcast are under consideration, and details on whether UK viewers will have access are yet to be revealed.
From Hollywood Origins to Broadway Milestone
Good Night, and Good Luck is Clooney’s debut working as both actor and lead producer on Broadway, solidifying his transformation from Hollywood star to stage sensation. The play has become a bestseller, recently surpassing $4 million in weekly grosses and making history as the highest-grossing play on Broadway.
The work adapts Clooney’s 2005 film co-written with Grant Heslov, which centers on journalist Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare. Clooney and Heslov lead the production team, with Tony Award-winner David Cromer directing. The play has received five nominations for the 2025 Tony Awards, including one for Clooney’s performance.
Acclaimed Cast and Accomplished Creative Team
The Broadway run features a notable ensemble, including Mac Brandt as Colonel Anderson, Will Dagger as Don Hewitt, Christopher Denham as John Aaron, Glenn Fleshler as Fred Friendly, Ilana Glazer as Shirley Wershba, Clark Gregg as Don Hollenbeck, Paul Gross as William S. Paley, Georgia Heers as Ella, Carter Hudson as Joe Wershba, Fran Kranz as Palmer Williams, Jennifer Morris as Millie Green, Michael Nathanson as Eddie Scott, Andrew Polk as Charlie Mack, and Aaron Roman Weiner as Don Surine. The ensemble also includes R. Ward Duffy, Joe Forbrich, Imani Rousselle, Greg Stuhr, JD Taylor, and Sophia Tzougros, collectively enhancing the drama’s impact.
The behind-the-scenes team comprises Scott Pask on scenic design, Heather Gilbert for lighting, David Bengali overseeing video and projections, Daniel Kluger in charge of sound with Bryan Carter as music supervisor, Brenda Abbandandolo on costumes, Leah J. Loukas for hair and wig styling, Gigi Buffington coordinating voice and dialect, and David Caparelliotis directing casting logistics. Production is managed by Seaview, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Jean Doumanian, and Robert Fox.
Looking Ahead at Possible West End Arrival
Good Night, and Good Luck is currently playing at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York until June 8, 2025. As London theater enthusiasts await confirmation, there are no official dates for a West End transfer, and details about venue and tickets remain forthcoming. The play’s continued attention from audiences and media—especially with its upcoming CNN broadcast—fuels speculation that a London run would draw significant interest and further amplify the success already seen in New York.
With its ensemble cast, including talents like Andrew Polk and Georgia Heers, and a creative team comprising figures such as Grant Heslov, David Cromer, and David Bengali, the production holds strong potential for another milestone, should it arrive in the UK. Updates on any London production of George Clooney Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck London West End are expected as plans develop, and theater fans are encouraged to remain alert for new information.
