FEATURED REVIEWS FOR An Act of God
'An Act of God' Broadway review: This Sean Hayes comedy isn't heaven-sent
6 / 10
A one-joke sketch dragged out to, er, ungodly lengths, 'An Act of God' feels like little more than a cash grab designed to prey on tourists drawn to its well-known star and cutesy premise. (I didn't see the Jim Parsons version, so this was my first encounter with the material.) Written by former 'Daily Show' writer andMaplewood native David Javerbaum (or 'transcribed' by him, since the show purports to be the word of God) and directed by Joe Mantello ('The Humans,' 'Blackbird'), the play features Hayes in a white flowing robe, accompanied by two angels (James Gleason and David Josefsberg), riffing on assorted topics such as religious piety and creationism versus science ('I invested more time and energy into falsifying an airtight case for evolution over Creation, than I did Creation itself,' God insists).
'An Act of God': The Second Coming, With Sean Hayes
8 / 10
Hayes, who kept us in stitches as flighty pal Jack McFarland on NBC's 'Will & Grace,' may not be 'infinity' years old,' as the script -- based on a Twitter feed by former 'Daily Show' honcho David Javerbaum -- allows. But he isn't the young kid we remember from a TV sitcom, either. A touch of gray has crept into Hayes' hair. Forehead lines are visible when he furrows his brow. I'd normally stay clear of comment on a performer's physical traits, but there's a gravitas evident that's a help, here. Y'know. If you're gonna play God and all. (Hayes previously earned hallelujahs on Broadway for 'Promises, Promises,' in 2010.)
