'Glengarry Glen Ross' review: Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk's play is bleeping underwhelming
Briefly

The revival of David Mamet's 'Glengarry Glen Ross' at the Palace Theatre suffers from a lack of energy, failing to capture the explosive dynamics of the original play. Despite featuring a talented cast that includes Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr, and Michael McKean, the production falters in delivering the darkly comedic, cutthroat atmosphere central to Mamet’s workplace drama. The performances, while individually commendable, are overshadowed by the production's uninspired setting and direction, resulting in a presentation that feels lackluster and fails to resonate with audiences.
Alec Baldwin's iconic line from the film, 'Coffee is for closers only,' never appears in Mamet's play 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' highlighting a misalignment in interpretations.
Despite a star-studded cast, the revival of 'Glengarry Glen Ross' struggles to deliver the explosive energy and humor that defines Mamet's original work.
