Oh, Goodbye! Flashback Through OH, HELLO's Broadway Run

Today, January 22nd, 2017, the Broadway premiere of OH, HELLO on BROADWAY, starring the two hottest voices in comedy today, Nick Kroll (Comedy Central's "Kroll Show") and John Mulaney (Netflix's "The Comeback Kid"), will close.

The duo starred as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland - 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 part scripted, part spontaneous comedy, and totally unprecedented.

St. Geegland and Faizon have spent their entire lives second-acting Broadway shows and could have not be more thrilled to have made their first ever Broadway bows. When reached for comment, George said, "This is the furthest dun'town we have been in years and we are not happy about it."

OH, HELLO quickly sold out an off-Broadway run at the Cherry Lane Theatre during the fall of 2015, prompting New York Magazine to declare, "For a few short weeks, Hamilton had a rival for the title of hottest ticket in town in the form of two old jerks from the Upper West Side." The duo played other sold out engagements in San Diego, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles.

On June 26th, 2016, the duo from the Upper West Side made the incredible announcement that they were headed to the great white way! Watch the livestream, below.

While some theatre artists are certainly serious about their craft, there is also the undeniably glamorous side to starring on Broadway, a fact that hasn't escaped Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland.

So while prepping for their new Broadway show, OH, HELLO, the boys took part in a glamorous photo session. St. Geegland calls their new venture "a dream come true for the audience."

Faizon agrees, adding "We want everyone to pay full price to come to this play."
