Meet God’s new little helpers! Broadway alum David Josefsberg and James Gleason will join Sean Hayes for the return of An Act of God. The two will play Archangels Michael and Gabriel, respectively, reprising their performances from the previous California engagements.
Preview performances will begin on May 28 at the Booth Theatre, where the Joe Mantello-helmed production is set to open on June 6. The comedy is scheduled to run through September 4.
Josefsberg served as the standby in the Jim Parsons-led incarnation of An Act of God. His additional Broadway credits include Honeymoon in Vegas, Les Miserables, Motown, The Wedding Singer and Grease. Gleason has appeared on stage previously in Stuff Happens, The Weir, Curse of the Starving Class and Speed-The-Plow.
The Play, penned by God Himself (stay with us), has been transcribed by Emmy-winning former The Daily Show head writer and executive producer David Javerbaum. Over 90 minutes, God assumes Hayes’ body to reveal the mysteries of the Bible, offer an updated take on the Ten Commandments and answer some of mankind’s most existential questions.
