'Glengarry Glen Ross,' With Al Pacino, Aiming for Broadway A new Broadway revival of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "Glengarry Glen Ross," is in the works for the 2012-13 season with Al Pacino in line to play the desperate salesman Shelly "The Machine" Levene, according to two Broadway producers with knowledge of the plans. Playing Shelly Levene would be a reversal of roles for Mr. Pacino, who - in the 1992 film adaptation of "Glengarry" - played the hotshot in the Chicago real estate office where Mr. Mamet's searing comedy unfolds. Mr. Pacino was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for that performance, as Ricky Roma. It would also be the latest project for Mr. Pacino and the revival's director, Daniel Sullivan, who worked together on the 2010 Broadway outing of "The Merchant of Venice." A lead producer of the "Glengarry" revival, Jeffrey Richards, declined to comment on Tuesday. He was a producer on "Merchant of Venice" and has also mounted several Mamet plays on Broadway, most recently "A Life in the Theater" in 2010 and "Race" a year earlier. The information about the "Glengarry" revival came from two producers who spoke on condition of anonymity because the revival is not official, in part because negotiations with several actors are still under way. "Glengarry" originally opened on Broadway in 1984 and was a critical hit that ran for 11 months; it was nominated for four Tony Awards, including best play, and won for Joe Mantegna's featured performance as Roma. Robert Prosky played Levene in that production, and was also nominated for a featured Tony. The play was revived relatively recently on Broadway, in 2005, with Alan Alda as Levene and Liev Schreiber as Roma; both men were nominated for featured Tonys, and Mr. Schreiber won. That 2005 production also won for best play revival; Mr. Richards was one of its lead producers as well.
