Sean Hayes is an Emmy Award-winning actor who is best known for playing Jack McFarland on the hit NBC sitcom *Will & Grace*. He has also appeared in several stage productions, including *Damn Yankees* off Broadway and *An Act of God* on Broadway.

Born June 26, 1970, Hayes was raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where he eventually went on to study piano performance at Illinois State University. He left college early and worked as a music director, classical pianist, and composer before moving to Los Angeles and taking up acting.

His first major role was in the indie movie Billy’s *Hollywood Screen Kiss*, and he was cast soon after in *Will & Grace*, which brought him mainstream success. Over the show’s seven seasons, Hayes earned numerous award nominations and won an Emmy.

Throughout his career, Hayes has also acted and provided voice work for many films, most notably *The Cat in the Hat*, *Pieces of April*, and *The Bucket List*. He’s also starred in many television shows, playing the lead in the NBC sitcom *Sean Saves the World* from 2013 to 2014 and Steve Maryweather in the 2021 Netflix animated series *Q-Force*.

On stage, Hayes played Mr. Applegate in the 2008 Off-Broadway revival of *Damn Yankees* and made his Broadway debut in the 2010 revival of *Promises, Promises* as Chuck Baxter. He returned to the stage as God for a limited engagement in *An Act of God* in 2016.

In 2023, Hayes returned to Broadway to star as pianist Oscar Levant in the new play *Good Night, Oscar* on Broadway at the [Belasco Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/belasco-theatre).

The Belasco Theatre originally opened as the Stuyvesant Theatre on October 16, 1907 with a production of *A Grand Army Man*. The Belasco Theatre was designed by George Keister for impresario David Belasco, who renamed the theatre for himself in 1910.

The first production to be staged under the theatre's new name was *The Lily*, an adaptation by Belasco of Leroux's *Le Lys*. In 1931, the theatre was leased to Katherine Cornell, and the Shubert Organization purchased it in 1948. From 1949 to 1953, the building was leased to NBC for broadcasting, before it was once again used as a traditional theatre.

The Belasco, located on 44th St. near the corner of Sixth Avenue, is the easternmost Broadway theatre.
