The 2023 Tony Awards' Best Leading Actor in a Play! As brilliant as he was troubled, Oscar Levant's genius has become the stuff of legend, despite the fact it was also his downfall. After winning critical and audience acclaim during its Chicago premiere and its recent Broadway run, this new play by Doug Wright comes to London's Barbican in the summer of 2025. Sean Hayes (Will and Grace) retains the role of the titular Oscar, (in a performance the Chicago Tribune called a "revelation") embodying the mordant comedian, actor, pianist, and wildcard as he makes an unforgettable appearance on Jack Paar's Tonight Show in 1958.
