Sean Hayes, the Emmy and Tony Award-winning star of Will & Grace, is set to enchant audiences once more as he reprises his acclaimed, Tony Award-winning role in Good Night, Oscar. Fresh from a celebrated Broadway run, this is a limited seven-week summer season so don’t hang about.
Set against the backdrop of 1958, the play revolves around the iconic late-night talk-show host Jack Paar. Central to this episode is Oscar Levant, a character actor and pianist famed for his sharp wit and unpredictable nature. One of his most memorable quips – ‘There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line’ – encapsulates the essence of his complex persona.
As the evening unfolds, Levant takes to the national television stage, leaving an indelible mark on Paar’s audience and the entire nation.
Featuring a dazzling performance by Hayes, this production will not only entertain but asks good questions about the nature of celebrity and artistry.
