Good Night, Oscar, the newest play by Pulitzer winner Doug Wright, has announced complete casting for its upcoming Broadway Bow.

Directed by Lisa PetersonGood Night, Oscar begins performances on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre April 7, with opening night set for April 24. The 20-week limited engagement will end on August 27.

In addition to the previously announced Sean Hayes, Marchánt Davis, and Alex Wyse, the cast will include Emily Bergl as June Levant, Peter Grosz as Bob Sarnoff, Ben Rappaport as Jack Paar, and John Zdrojeski as George Gershwin. The production's understudies will be Sam Bell-GurwitzPostell PringleMax RollThomas Michael Hammond, and Stephanie Janssen.

Wright's play is set in 1958 while Jack Paar is hosting The Tonight Show. He’s booked his favorite guest, Oscar Levant. In 90 minutes, Levant will have audiences howling, censors scrambling, and, when it’s all over, America will be just a little less innocent than she was before. The work premiered in 2022 at Chicago's Goodman Theatre with Hayes leading the cast.

The project is the second attempt to craft a play around Hayes portraying Levant. Playwright David Adjmi recently alleged that his own Levant play, written for Hayes and the same producing team behind Good Night, Oscar, was stymied by the development of Wright's.

Good Night, Oscar will feature scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by Ben Stanton and Carolina Ortiz Herrera, sound design by André Pluess, music supervision by Chris Fenwick, wig, hair, and makeup design by J. Jared Janas, casting by Stephen Kopel, and dramaturgy by Jacqueline E. Lawton.
