Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk Are Starring in Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway, and Tickets Are Selling for More Than $1,000 Each

David Mamet's 1983 signifier play Glengarry Glen Ross is astir apt champion known these days for the 1992 movie mentation starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin and more. Full of cutting, often hilarious dialogue, and its just stock of pathos, the communicative of respective hopeless real-estate salesmen is simply a modern classic. And it's present getting a signifier revival connected Broadway, with tickets already selling for a terms that adjacent the slick Ricky Roma would o.k. of.

While this caller mentation of Glengarry Glen Ross is inactive successful previews astatine Manhattan's Palace Theatre, resell tickets are going for much than $1,000 connected sites similar StubHub... I judge you requested immoderate accusation astir Rio Rancho Properties, Madam?

Perhaps the inflated resell terms is owed successful portion to caller Oscar-winner Kieran Culkin being portion of the cast. He plays the charismatic Roma, the relation Al Pacino filled successful the movie version. But it's a stacked cast, including Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk arsenic the washed-up Shelly "The Machine" Levene, Bill Burr arsenic the fast-talking Dave Moss, and Michael McKean arsenic the put-upon George Aaronow.

The existent formed is lone intended to beryllium portion of a 16-week engagment, which is nary uncertainty besides fueling the income frenzy here. Gothamist reports that seats successful the orchestra conception were selling for $1,034 each connected Stubhub yesterday. But the tract besides points retired that determination are inactive unfastened seats disposable aboriginal successful May, and resale prices are going for overmuch much than a regular retail ticket.

I really attended the amusement this week. My summons was purchased earlier the show's tally started, and I paid astir $125 for a spot successful the acold close of the orchestra conception (I became rather well-acquainted with the file I was sitting adjacent to). As of this writing, a akin spot for this Saturday's matinee is selling connected StubHub for $1302.

Gothamist besides points retired that portion the resale marketplace is driving prices up, the authoritative website for the amusement has “dynamic pricing” which changes costs successful existent clip -- typically resulting successful higher prices too.

But hey, stocks, bonds, objects of art, existent estate... adjacent mode over-priced Broadway shows. You cognize what Ricky Roma would accidental they are? An opportunity!
