Act of God is coming to Broadway. That’s the name of a new comedy by David Javerbaum, who among his other accomplishments (Emmy-winning former Daily Show writer) is the man behind the popular Twitter account, @TheTweetofGod. His Tweets begat the book The Last Testament: A Memoir by God.
Joe Mantello will direct the show, which will star Jim Parsons, known best for his role on the TV show The Big Bang Theory, but now a Broadway veteran, having appeared both in The Normal Heart and in Harvey.
Act of God is not a one-God show. There are also two angels lending a hand to God, roles that have not yet been cast. The show opens May 28 at Studio 54 for a limited run. (Producer Jeffrey Finn is renting the theater from the Roundabout.)
This May, I am coming to Broadway. And I will be Jim Parsons.
I am not kidding.
Get ready. http://t.co/I0SdjHAgKYhttp://t.co/D5Sji3dFkZ— God (@TheTweetOfGod) January 29, 2015

The people who call My name on Sunday morning aren't as fun the people who call My name on Saturday night.

TERRORIST LOGIC
1. I am concerned about my religion’s negative reputation in the eyes of the world.
2. I will kill people in its name.— God (@TheTweetOfGod) January 7, 2015
I am the Lord thy God, King of the Universe, the omnipotent and omniscient Creator of Space and Time, and I can take a fucking joke.
