Some hilarious geezers are headed for the Great White Way. Comedy dream team Nick Kroll and John Mulaney start performances in Oh, Hello at the Lyceum Theatre on September 23. Under the direction of Alex Timbers, their delightfully crotchety alter egos Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland will gab about politics, tuna and the water on the top of yogurt packets in a both scripted and spontaneous performance. Opening night is set for October 10, and the limited engagement will run through January 8, 2017.
Gil Faizon (Kroll) and George St. Geegland (Mulaney) are outrageously opinionated, 70-something, native New Yorkers that Kroll and Mulaney first began performing on the alternative comedy stages in NYC. Honed for over a decade, the fictional duo garnered a cult following and found their way onto a Comedy Central special, viral videos and late night couches everywhere. Oh, Hello on Broadway is Gil and George’s “memoir for the stage”—a laugh-a-minute two-man tour-de-force that’s totally unprecedented.
"The show is filled with references to theatre," Kroll told Broadway.com. "It's really George and Gil's love letter to Broadway."
"And a stalker's note scrawled in lipstick on a mirror," added Mulaney.
