Hallelujah! Full House Star Bob Saget Begins Performances in Hand to God on Broadway

What the devil?! Bob Saget will start performances as Pastor Greg in Hand to God on November 3. The Full House and Broadway alum replaces original star Marc Kudisch in Robert Askins' comedy at the Main Stem's Booth Theatre. Saget is scheduled to remain in the company of the demonic puppet until the production closes on January 3, 2016.

Saget is best known for playing Danny Tanner on Full House and as the original host of America’s Funniest Home Videos. Additional screen credits include The Aristocrats, Entourage and the upcoming Grandfathered and Fuller House. He made his Broadway debut in The Drowsy Chaperone.

In Hand to God, the good children of Cypress, Texas, are taught to obey the Bible in order to evade Satan’s hand. But when students at the Christian Puppet Ministry put those teachings into practice, one devout young man’s puppet takes on a shocking personality that no one could have expected.

Directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, the cast also includes Steven Boyer, Geneva Carr, Sarah Stiles and Michael Oberholtzer.

Still no word yet on casting for when Hand to God crosses the pond next year; the play will begin performances on February 5, 2016 at the West End's Vaudeville Theatre.
