Broadway’s An Act of God, starring Emmy winner Jim Parsons, has recouped its investment. The production, capitalized at $2.9 million, opened officially on May 28 and is scheduled to conclude its run at Studio 54 on August 2.
The Creator Himself has written the Play, which has been transcribed by Emmy-winning The Daily Show head writer and executive producer David Javerbaum. God (through His press agent) has billed the show as such: “A 90-minute conversation in which I will reveal the mysteries of the Bible and answer some of the greatest existential questions that plague mankind.” In an early statement, He said, “This Play will help clear up the fallacy that I’m old fashioned…and instead reveal the true Me: up-to-date and holier-than-you.”
Along with Parsons as God, the cast includes Christopher Fitzgerald and Tim Kazurinsky as angels. Tony winner Joe Mantello directs. Although the show is playing at Roundabout's Studio 54, it is not a Roundabout production.
