George Clooney celebrated the opening night of his Broadway play, “Good Night, and Good Luck,” without his wife Amal by his side.
Clooney debuted the play he wrote and stars in at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City Thursday night.
While speaking to reporters, George said Amal missed his big night because “she’s with the kids,” according to People magazine. The couple have twins, Alexander and Ella.
Even without Amal, Clooney’s night was star-studded.

Cindy Crawford attended the show with her husband, Rande Gerber, and daughter Kaia.
Hugh Jackman, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez and Julianna Margulies were also photographed at the event.
Clooney’s family relocated to New York while he focused on his Broadway debut. In February, Clooney was a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and shared how his family was adapting.
“They love being here. I mean, come on, how do you not love this? It’s New York City.
“Actually, a play is kind of a good schedule because you’re working at night. You get to see the kids during the day. So, it’s OK,” Clooney added.
