The large cast of the upcoming Good Night, and Good Luck starring George Clooney in his Broadway debut has been announced by producers, and among those onstage will be Ilana Glazer, Clark Gregg, Mac Brandt and Paul Gross.

See below for the complete cast and character list.

Based on the 2005 movie about pioneering TV journalist Edward R. Murrow set during the McCarthy Era, Clooney will play Murrow (in the film, the role was played by David Strathairn, with Clooney playing legendary CBS News exec Fred Friendly). Clooney wrote the play adaptation with Grant Heslov, as they did the original screenplay.

Directed by David Cromer, Good Night, and Good Luck will begin preview performances at the Winter Garden Theatre on March 12, with an opening night set for April 3.

Joining Clooney in portraying real-life characters will be Brandt as Colonel Anderson, Will Dagger as Don Hewitt, Christopher Denham as John Aaron, Glenn Fleshler as Fred Friendly, Glazer as Shirley Wershba, Gregg as Don Hollenbeck, Gross as William F. 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.

Rounding out the ensemble will be R. Ward Duffy, Joe Forbrich, Imani Rousselle, Greg Stuhr, JD Taylor and Sophia Tzougros.

Based on the 2929 Entertainment and Participant film of the same name distributed by Warner Bros and written by the same authors, Good Night, and Good Luck follows the golden age of broadcast journalism and, as the official synopsis states, “Edward R. Murrow’s 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. The play chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation—and won.”

The creative team includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Heather Gilbert (lighting design), David Bengali (video/projections design), Daniel Kluger (sound design), Brenda Abbandandolo (costume design), Leah J. Loukas (hair & wig design), Gigi Buffington (voice & dialect), and Daniel Kluger and Bryan Carter (music supervision).

Good Night, and Good Luck is produced by Seaview, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Jean Doumanian and Robert Fox.
