Performances begin on Wednesday, December 11 at the Hudson Theatre.
Musical duo The Bengsons (Abigail and Shaun Bengson) will be performing songs live on stage from The Magnetic Fields (composer, Stephin Merritt), including from the esteemed album “69 Love Songs,” in the world premiere of All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich. Directed by Alex Timbers, All In will be performed with a rotating cast of four actors for 10 weeks. Performances begin on Wednesday, December 11 at the Hudson Theatre.
Rich commented, “69 Love Songs” by the Magnetic Fields directly inspired me to write the love stories that became All In. Stephin Merritt is my favorite living songwriter and he’s probably better than all the dead ones I like too.”
For the first 5 weeks, John Mulaney will lead the cast and be joined by Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry (12/11 – 12/30), Chloe Fineman (1/2 – 1/12), and Richard Kind. Additional casting through the rest of the run will be announced soon.

This marks Mr. Timbers’ fourth collaboration with Mr. Mulaney, having previously directed him in his comedy specials “Kid Gorgeous” and “Baby J,” as well as the Broadway show, Oh, Hello. From 2008 to 2011, Mr. Rich and Mr. Mulaney worked together as writers on “Saturday Night Live.” All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich contains short stories from Mr. Rich previously featured in the pages of The New Yorker.
All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich is 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.
All In is produced on Broadway by Seaview and Lorne Michaels with New Yorker Studios. Micah Frank and Caroline Maroney will produce on behalf of Broadway Video. General Management is by Wagner Johnson Productions, and casting is by Taylor Williams, CSA.
