Rosalie Craig joins cast of Good Night, Oscar with Sean Hayes

Exclusive: Rosalie Craig will join Emmy and Tony Award winner Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) in Good Night, Oscar at the Barbican Theatre this summer.

Marking his West End debut, Hayes will once again portray Hollywood actor and concert pianist Oscar Levant, following his 2023 stint on Broadway, which earned him his first Tony.

Penned by Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright and directed by Lisa Peterson, the piece is set in 1958 and revolves around a notorious late-night talkshow appearance. Joining Hayes will be Ben Rappaport, reprising his acclaimed role as legendary talk show host Jack Paar.

Craig will take on the role of June Levant, saying today: “I’m absolutely delighted to be returning to the West End to join the company of Good Night, Oscar as June Levant. It’s a deeply compelling, razor-sharp piece of theatre, and stepping into this world alongside such a remarkable cast is a real privilege.”

Also joining the cast at the Barbican are Daniel Adeosun as Alvin Finney, David Burnett as George Gershwin, Richard Katz as Bob Sarnoff, and Eric Sirakian as Max Weinbaum. Max Roll also reprises his role as understudy for Oscar Levant and Bob Sarnoff, following his engagement on Broadway alongside Hayes and Rappaport.

Additional understudies are Tashinga Bepete (Alvin Finney), Ben Butler (Max Weinbaum), Charlotte Hunter (June Levant), and Ryan Speakman (Jack Paar and George Gershwin).

Good Night, Oscar will play a strictly limited seven-week season from 31 July until 21 September 2025.
