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).
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.'
