The ShowStep into the dazzling world of live 1950s television and witness Hollywood's first celebrity meltdown, played to perfection.
Emmy and Tony Award-winner Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) brings his acclaimed, Tony Award-winning performance to the Barbican this Summer in Good Night, Oscar - direct from a critically acclaimed Broadway season.
He's joined by Rosalie Craig (Company, The Ferryman) and Daniel Adeosun, David Burnett, Richard Katz, and Eric Sirakian.
Max Roll also reprises his role as understudy for Oscar Levant and Bob Sarnoff, following his engagement on Broadway alongside Hayes and Rappaport.
It's 1958, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television.
His favourite guest? Character actor, pianist, and wild card Oscar Levant.
Famous for his witty one-liners, Oscar has a favourite: "There's a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.
" Tonight, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar's audienceâand the rest of Americaâwon't soon forget.
Full of humour, with an unmissable, virtuosic performance from Sean Hayes, Good Night, Oscar masterfully explores fame, artistry, and the fragility of genius.
This strictly limited one time seven-week summer season at the Barbican will sell out quickly - advance booking is strongly advised.
