Jim Parsons is set to star in his holiest role yet, as he heads back to Broadway to play the role of God.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winning Big Bang Theory actor will star was the Supreme Being in a limited engagement of the new comedy, An Act of God, which is based on the book The Last Testament: A Memoir By God. Previews will begin on May 5th, 2015 at Studio 54 and will officially open on May 28th, 2015.

The 90-minute play has God revealing the mysteries of the Bible and answering humanity’s greatest existential questions and will be directed by Joe Mantello (The Last Ship, Case Valentina, Wicked). The casting of two angels to co-star alongside Jim Parsons and the design team have not been announced yet, but the executive producers, 101 Productions, Ltd. will be unveiling this information soon.

The official announcement was made in a hilarious way as God commented via His press agent, “I chose Jim to play Me because I relish the irony of telling the real story of the Six Days of Creation through the star of The Big Bang Theory. Plus, he’s funny. The theater was also chosen for ironic reasons, as Studio 54 — up to this point — has been the single most God-less place in the universe. And as for our director, Joe Mantello, that was not ironic. I’ve been a fan of his since Wicked!”

David Javerbaum, the former head writer and executive of Daily Show with Jon Stewart, is set to transcribe the critically acclaimed 2011 book. David is also a Tony nominee with c0-writer Adam Schlesinger for their score of the musical Cry-Baby.

This will be the first time Parsons has been on stage since 2012 when he starred in the revival Harvey.
