FEATURED REVIEWS FOR An Act of God
‘An Act of God’ Broadway revival review: Sean Hayes terrific in comedic monologue
5 / 10
The show has been updated to include a few new zingers. For instance, God announces that he knows full well that the crowd is only there because they couldn't get tickets to 'Hamilton.' In fact, God can't snag a ticket, either. Even at just 90 minutes, 'An Act of God' (directed by the prolific Joe Mantello) is long-winded and full of unoriginal jabs at easy targets, but it is cute and occasionally witty . Hayes, who appeared on Broadway six years ago in the musical 'Promises, Promises' and is best remembered as the flamboyant Jack on 'Will and Grace,' has terrific stage presence and makes for a giddy, loosened-up and irreverent host.
Review: ‘An Act of God’ Is Back, With Sean Hayes
8 / 10
Technically speaking, Mr. Hayes is not portraying God. In his boundless mystery, God has chosen to come before us in the guise of Mr. Hayes. 'For lo, I have endowed him with a winning, likable personality and know of a certainty that your apprehension of my depthless profundities will by aided by his offbeat charm,' as God-in-the-person-of-Mr.-Hayes says. God later adds, 'He has no idea he's here.' The Almighty is not wrong about Mr. Hayes's appeal. (How could an all-knowing being be wrong?) Just as Mr. Parsons made for an endearingly cuddly deity, so does Mr. Hayes. He almost looks like a grown-up cherub - albeit one who's been on the Atkins Diet - and he channels the same fresh-faced boyishness and impish zest that made the character Jack a constantscene-stealer on 'Will and Grace.'
