Anything can happen on live TV. And one night, it did.

Emmy Award-winning actor and producer Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) stars as the irrepressible Oscar Levant.

 

It's 1958, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night Talk-show on television. His favorite guest? Character actor, pianist, and wild card Oscar Levant. Famous for his witty one-liners, Oscar has a favorite: "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 audience - and the rest of America - won't soon forget.

 

GOOD NIGHT, OSCAR explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment, and the high cost of baring one's soul for public consumption.

 

Arriving on Broadway after its smash-hit run at the Goodman Theatre, the Chicago Tribune raves, "Sean Hayes is a revelation. Hayes will be the talk of New York and so will this show."
