You may remember that Nick Kroll and John Mulaney brought their ‘Oh, Hello’ alter egos, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland, to the NYC’s Cherry Lane Theatre for a sold-out off-Broadway run last fall. Gil and George have hit the big time now, announcing that ‘Oh, Hello on Broadway’ is coming to the Lyceum Theatre for a limited run from September 23, 2016 – January 8, 2017. Tickets are on sale now.
Kroll and Mulaney talked to The New York Times about what to expect:
“To the annoyance of George and Gil, they’ve learned their lines and they don’t want to learn new lines,” Mr. Kroll said.
Mr. Mulaney said: “They locked the show in 1989. We’re begging them to update the references.”
Mr. Kroll added: “Their main request is showgirls. And we haven’t quite figured out how to tell them that the union has made it clear that they will not provide any showgirls for a George and Gil production.”
