Following the conclusion of the fifth and final season of the series ‘Hacks’, stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder were scheduled to perform a one-night-only live stage production titled ‘Deborah Vance & Friends & Enemies Live!’ at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.

The event, which was already sold out, featured an ‘in-world production’ format where cast members including Paul W. Downs, Mark Indelicato, and Lauren Weedman returned to their roles. The filmed hourlong performance was timed to coincide with the start of Emmy Awards voting. Following the show, Jean Smart distributed leftover pizzas to fans on Hollywood Boulevard.
