North Coast Repertory Theatre

He was the funniest man in the room. And the most unfiltered. North Coast Repertory Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of Good Night, Oscar, Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright's compassionate and wickedly funny portrait of Oscar Levant — pianist, actor, composer, and legendary wit whose sharp tongue was matched only by his profound musical genius. Set during a fateful 1958 appearance on The Jack Paar Show, this electrifying play captures one unforgettable night in the life of Hollywood's most neurotic and uncensored personality: a tortured artist wrestling with mental illness, addiction, and the price of fame, yet never losing his capacity for devastating honesty and breathtaking artistry. On Broadway, Sean Hayes won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance as Levant. Equal parts comedy and tragedy, Good Night, Oscar
is a love letter to the golden age of television and a showcase for theatrical virtuosity — the story of a man performing himself for an audience, decades before the internet made everyone do it.
"A play that is as funny as it is tragic." — Jack The Lad Magazine
"Perennially relevant... provides a deeply thoughtful take on how social hypocrisies drive popular culture." — Chicago Sun-Times
"Blisteringly funny, razor-sharp and deeply moving." – NY Times
"A waspish, compulsive, meticulously well-crafted piece of theatre" - WhatsOnStage
