Sean Hayes will star in a return engagement of An Act of God, David Javerbaum’s comedy that premiered on Broadway last year starring Jim Parsons as the man upstairs. Hayes, who recently performed the show in Los Angeles and San Francisco, will arrive at the Booth Theatre for previews starting May 28 and an opening night of June 6. Produced by Jeffrey Finn and again directed by Joe Mantello, the production is scheduled to run through September 4.

Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron confirmed that they’re bringing a live broadcast of Aaron Sorkin’s A Few Good Men to NBC in early 2017. The TV event follows on the team’s broadcasts of The Sound of Music and The Wiz for the network. Sorkin’s military courtroom drama premiered on Broadway in 1989 and was later adapted into the 1992 film starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. The dates and creative team for the planned broadcast have not yet been announced.

The Broadway premiere will be directed by Jack O’Brien and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse. A London production of the musical (pictured above), directed by Sam Mendes and choreographed by Peter Darling, has been running on the West End since 2013.
