John Mulaney and Nick Kroll are bespectacled, cardigan-clad and ready to grumble as their respective (though perhaps not respectable) characters George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon in Oh, Hello. The pair describe the production as their love letter to the Great White Way (as well as "a stalker's note scrawled in lipstick on a mirror"). Helmed by Alex Timbers, the comedy play, which combines scripted sketch, celebrity guests and improvisational shenanigans, officially opens on October 10.
To honor the glamorous Main Stem bow of Mulaney and Kroll (a.k.a. George and Gil), Broadway.com Resident Artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson gave them the ink treatment. The duo are perfectly represented in their fuddy-duddy duds and arms in the air, most likely gabbing about the important things in life (like pigeons).
Broadway.com wishes Oh, Hello's crotchety gents a wonderful opening night and hilarious run filled with laughter, inappropriate hand gestures and tuna, of course! Catch the show before January 8, 2017.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
