Good Night, And Good Luck, Broadway’s latest showstopper, continues to break records.
The 2025 debut has earned the title of the highest-grossing Broadway play in history, garnering a staggering $2.8 million in just one week. Then, the newsroom saga beat its own record and became the first Broadway play to gross $4 million in one week.
Now, the George Clooney-lead drama will be the first Broadway show ever receive a televised livestream. If you’ve yet to score a seat, now’s your chance — and you don’t even have to leave the couch.
Good Night, And Good Luck on CNN
News junkies and Broadway buffs can catch a screening of the play on Saturday, June 7 at 7pm ET across CNN, CNN International and streaming on CNN.com. Per the network, the show will stream live, without requiring a cable log-in, via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps.
“I can’t tell you how exciting it is to do something that’s never been done,” George Clooney said in a statement. “CNN is the perfect place to bring this story of courage to so many more people than we could have ever hoped. Live TV. No net. Buckle up everyone.”
Likewise, the network is equally excited for this historic moment.
“Good Night, and Good Luck is not just a celebration of a golden age in TV journalism,” said Chairman and CEO of CNN, Mark Thompson. “It’s also about the importance of the free press and the need for strong news organizations to report the facts in a fair-minded way. That’s something we still care deeply about.”
Good Night, And Good Luck sees Clooney as CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow known for his scrutiny of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, and it’s earned a slew of TONY Award nominations as well. Just a hunch, but we have a feeling it will continue to make history at this year’s TONYs.
