The King of the Universe makes His debut in "Broadway's Newest Hit!" (NBC-TV) An Act of God is a 90-minute comedy where God, in the form of Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jim Parsons (star of The Big Bang Theory), reveals the mysteries of the Bible and answers some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation. Now playing on Broadway at Studio 54. Strictly Limited Engagement through August 2nd only.
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.)
What if God was one of us? Occasionally characters say something so right that you can't help but nod in complete agreement. The line's so in sync with what's inside your head that you're convinced your brain's been plugged into a la 'The Matrix.'
