Nick Kroll and John Mulaney's wildly popular alter egos Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland will make their debuts on the Great White Way in their acclaimed masterpiece, Oh, Hello on Broadway at The Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). In preparation for the show's New York run, the pair posted some vintage footage for Throwback Thursday - check it out below!
Along with the video, they wrote: "Before we became big B'way stars and before Giuliani 'cleaned up' the city, Gil and I enjoyed the simple things in life- namely polyester turtlenecks, public intoxication and Steely Dan."
Performances for Oh, Hello on BROADWAY will begin on September 23 with opening night set for October 10. The show will run through January 8 2017. Alex Timbers directs.
OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is the Broadway premiere of two of the two hottest voices in comedy today, Nick Kroll (Comedy Central's "Kroll Show") and John Mulaney (Netflix's "The Comeback Kid").
Respectively, the duo star 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 not be more thrilled to make their 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." Gil added, "I'm terrified. I have to go to the bathroom."
