Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:06pmIs this a play or musical? (It doesn't matter much to me! I love Mr. Parsons! I was just curious.)

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:09pmCheck out how they list "God" as the playwright.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:12pmYes, well, they even have a quote from God via his press agent.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:16pmI feel like Act of God v Hand of God is going to be very confusing.
#6Jim Parsons An Act of God
Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:33pmExciting!! I love that Jim Parson keeps coming back, he's excellent. But weird - they're waiting until after the Tony cutoff.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:59pmHarvey was also outside the cut-off. I'm sure it has to do with Jim's BBT schedule.

#11Jim Parsons An Act of God
Posted: 1/29/15 at 3:05pmJusr FYI, the book it's based on, and the play, is written by David Javerbaum, who has written most of the recent Tonay Award opening numbers performed by NPH. He's the former head writer of The Daily Show. And yes, his Tweets are great. (@TheTweetofGod)

Posted: 1/29/15 at 3:40pmI bet the producers of Hand to God are thrilled about this. Could they really not pick another title that was not as similar?

"who has written most of the recent Tonay Award opening numbers performed by NPH."
By most of, you mean the inferior ones to the ones Miranda and Kitt wrote.

"It's Hand *TO God. "
That's still similar enough that people will get confused.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 4:52pmCorrect. It's not a Roundabout production. They're just using the space.

Posted: 1/30/15 at 1:57amOh interesting. Does that happen often? I just assumed it was Roundabout.

Posted: 1/30/15 at 5:50amIt happens sometimes. For a current example, Roundabout owns the Stephen Sondheim Theatre but Beautiful is not a Roundabout production. Would I assume this show's tickets will most likely be sold on Telecharge then?

Roundabout doesn't own the Sondheim. Bank of America does. Roundabout is the operator of the building.
"Based on Roundabout's track record of revitalizing and managing theatres, an opportunity was presented to Roundabout by The Durst Organization, the New York developer. In September 2009, Roundabout Theatre Company became the curator of the new state-of-the-art, 1,055-seat Broadway theatre, New York's first LEED rated theatre, built as part of the Bank of America at One Bryant Park project."

Posted: 1/30/15 at 12:21pmI still don't get why no one uses the billboard atop the Sondheim. Beautiful has such little signage. But it doesn't seem to be hurting it.
#23Jim Parsons An Act of God
Posted: 1/30/15 at 4:39pmBecause the facade is landmarked. Part of the conditions of the renovation was that there was to be no signage on the marquee. It was a fight with the city to get the little signs on the sides.

Posted: 2/17/15 at 3:13pmIf anyone is interested, Audience Rewards presale has started for this. I just got tickets for Friday July 3rd at 2PM - looks like that takes the place of the Saturday evening show on the 4th. Works out great for me - one extra show I can squeeze in on my Independence Day weekend trip!
