The stage adaptation of the Oscar winning film is set to begin performances at the Winter Garden Theatre from the 12th March.
Complete casting has now been unveiled for the new play based on the 2005 film which earned Clooney directing and writing Oscar nominations as well as being nominated for Best Picture.

Murrow and he will be joined by: 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 and Clark Gregg as Don Hollenbeck.

Tune in to the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s (Clooney) 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.
Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer, the creative team includes: Tony Award winner 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).
