🔗 Fans Discover an Inconvenient Truth About ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ - WSJ:

So when Van Sistine visited New York last month to meet with clients, he was pumped to catch a live rendition of “Glengarry” on Broadway and hear those famous lines.

“I was on the edge of my seat,” Van Sistine said later, “waiting for that character to come out and give us the monologue, the gospel.”

He never appeared.

It is hilarious that all of these people—especially the sales-type guys who endlessly quote the Alec Baldwin speech, having probably only ever seen it in YouTube clips—are spending money on tickets having no idea the only scene they know is not in the original play.

One suspects they imagine they are all Blake.
