Glengarry Glen Ross Broadway Revival Never Quite Closes the Deal

What’s missing from this revival of Glengarry Glen Ross is that sense of knife-edge despair that might have made the play seem as harrowing as it is darkly funny. That probably won’t matter to the theatergoers paying top dollar to see their favorite television and stand-up comedy stars in person. For some of them, this may be their first encounter with this classic play, and they could do worse. But this new Glengarry never quite makes a successful pitch for its bill of goods.
