John Mulaney Coming to Broadway in Comedy Sketches With Rotating All Star Cast Produced by Lorne Michaels

Share

This should be an instant sell out.

John Mulaney is coming to Broadway in December in a new comedy. “All In: Comedy About love by Simon Rich” will have a rotating cast of all stars performing with Mulaney including Fred Armisen, Chloe Fineman, Renee Elise Goldsberry, and Richard Kind.

Wow!

Alex Timbers is directing and Lorne Michaels is producing.

Yes, Lorne Michaels is producing a Broadway show in the middle of the 50th anniversary celebration of “Saturday Night Live.”

Crazy.

Who is Simon Rich? He’s the son of former NY Times theater critic Frank Rich. He was on the “SNL” staff for four years.

“All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich” is described as a series of hilarious stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and that sort of thing, adapted from the short stories of Simon Rich, and performed by a rotating cast of some of the funniest people on the planet. Sometimes they will play pirates, sometimes they will play dogs, and there’s one where we make them talk in British accents. But even though the show’s kind of all over the place, it’s meant to tell one simple story: that the most important part of life is who we share it with. We hope everybody will relate to it, even if it was their date’s idea to come and they are starting out from a place of quiet resentment.
