The Hollywood celebrities showed up last night at the opening night of Good Night, Oscar at the Belasco Theatre , April 25. It was a fitting turn-out considering the show's subject matter: pianist-entertainment personality Oscar Levant . See what critics had to say about the show here .
Starring Sean Hayes in the title role, Good Night, Oscar takes place in 1958. Oscar has been asked to be a guest on T he Tonight Show . The only problem is he's also checked into a mental hospital. The play by Doug Wright sees the protagonist battling mental issues, substance abuse, and personal demons (and features a bravura performance by Hayes, who also plays the piano for seven minutes straight).
On the red carpet, the attendees included Matt Damon, Molly Ringwald , Steven Spielberg , Shoshana Bean , John Krasinki, and many more. View Playbill's photos from opening night of Good Night, Oscar below.
