See it if you are Sean Hayes fan and can handle a show which pokes fun at the bible. It was entertaining for me and all my friends. Great Actor!
Don't see it if you are very religious and can't take a joke. If you want to see a big production with multiple actors and costumes, this is not the show.

See it if You have a sense of humor! It's G-d giving 10 new commandments while going through bible stories. Also if you want to see something short.
Don't see it if You're attached to the new testament so much that you don't want anyone poking fun at it.

"In top form, God takes center stage to have another go at the Ten Commandments...Hayes delivers a swishy cross between Bill Buckley and Oprah, and he rivets your attention throughout this 90-minute play. Javerbaum’s writing is as tight as you’d expect...I’ll refrain from repeating more of the killer lines that Hayes tossed off effortlessly in this well-paced production, whose script stays slightly tweaked to keep it in the here and now, without seeming overly clever."

"The jokes are fast, funny, witty, and topical, but not unexpected. What raises this event way above the level of sketch comedy is the polished perfection of Hayes’s performance. He is an excellent comedian, with the comic timing of the very best...Hayes’s performance has all the silliness you could want, but also a core of steel that gives it a sharp edge...You won’t be disappointed."

"Rather than an insight into existential questions of religion and faith, 'An Act of God' is an entertaining way to spend 90 minutes, challenging humans’ reliance on a greater power through a series of often-cheesy jokes that portray God as less great than we might hope....Whatever His presence means for us, if it continues in the form of possessing Sean Hayes’ body to deliver hilarious comments and stories, I’m happy to have Him stick around a few millennia longer."

"Feels like a talk show in heaven...This snappy, sure-fire 90-minute comedy yields a laugh-out-loud confrontation between the Almighty and the human subjects he created...In hilarious moments of audience interaction, God’s reactions recall the scorn of Dame Edna...Hayes nails each bit with pinpoint timing. Glib and hyper, petulant and slyly self-aggrandizing, he delights in tearing down celebrities, but talks like one himself."
