Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will reprise their “Hacks” characters in a one-night-only live stage show, which sold out in less than 24 hours. The event, titled “Deborah Vance & Friends & Enemies LIVE!,” marks the first time the stars and their castmates will appear on stage in public, performing as their characters in front of an audience.
The show follows the character Deborah Vance’s return to the stage in the final season of the HBO series. Now, Smart and Einbinder, who play Vance and her writer Ava Daniels, will bring that dynamic to a real-life performance.
No additional details about the venue, date, or full cast lineup were provided in the initial announcements. The rapid sellout highlights strong fan interest in seeing the Emmy-winning duo perform together live.
The event is described as a stage show rather than a scripted reading, with the actors playing their roles in character throughout. Further information is expected closer to the performance date.
