Sean Hayes made his Broadway debut in Promises, Promises. He has an unforgettable story from one performance that has stayed with him for 15 years. He regurgitated that moment to Graham Norton a few days ago.
On Saturday Nights, people like to make going to a Broadway show a fun night out. They eat and drink with their friends and then go watch the performance. And that is not a wise move because you have to focus on the play or musical.
Well, one Saturday night, Hayes heard a woman projectile vomit in the one of the front rows, Then, he and castmates, who went on with the show, were all like did that happen? It did, and they were happy when the usher, came and took her away.
Like I said, the show went on, and the actors thought they were safe… But then, twenty minutes later, she came back for an encore. That’s right. She threw up for a second and last time in the theater. But the memory lives on in the Tony winner’s head forever.
I just have to say, I admire the audience for not doing the Stand By Me pie-eating contest scene and following her lead. The thought of it made me throw up a little in my mouth. So, I don’t know how they didn’t do it. Especially because they could not clean it up until the play stopped. Imagine the smell. And what if it got on you? The thought of it all. So gross!
And thankfully, Hayes can laugh about it now! As did everyone else on the panel, Because as gross as it was. It is a hilarious story, many years later.
Sean Hayes and Eric McCormack are in NYC this summer doing Broadway shows. And that is not the only show they are working on while they are there.
The former castmates are working on a project together. “What a wonderful evening spent at the Tribeca Festival last night with these two promoting Eric and my new podcast called, ‘Just Jack & Will’ – a ‘Will & Grace’ rewatch show for SmartLess Media,” Hayes, the recent Tony Award winner, wrote. “Launching June 22nd! #JustJackandWill #SmartLessMedia #TribecaFestival @nbcwillandgrace”
The two men are not the only ones in Manhattan. Debra Messing is there too. Therefore, she came out to support them. And we got this great photo that makes us miss their highlarious sitcom.
And for all of you conspiracy theorists. Meghan Mullally wasn’t there because she is still in LA! Otherwise, she would be there with her friends.
Have you wondered what the J and the J in J.J. Abrams stands for? We are not alone. Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes also wanted to know. So they asked him when he was on their podcast, Smartless.
Enough backstory, the moment of truth is here. His name is Jeffrey Jacob Abrams.
How does it feel to finally have a J.J. Abrams mystery solved? If only we could do that with hie show Lost too. I still don’t know what happened after all of these years.
