Exciting news in the Broadway scene! Producers Seaview and Lorne Michaels have unveiled details about the upcoming highly anticipated show All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich. Directed by Alex Timbers and featuring the immensely talented John Mulaney, the show will debut at New York’s Hudson Theatre on Wednesday, December 11.
In a thrilling development, the acclaimed musical duo the Bengsons will contribute to All In by performing songs inspired by the Magnetic Fields. Simon Rich shared, “69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields greatly inspired me to craft the love stories that now comprise All In. Stephin Merritt is my favorite living songwriter, surpassing even many of the greats from the past.”
Additionally, celebrated songwriter Stephin Merritt expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am eager to see how this remarkable humorist has woven my songs into his work. It’s always fascinating to watch actors bring their interpretation, and if I weren’t on tour, I’d certainly find a way to sneak into rehearsals.”
According to the show’s synopsis, All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich presents “a series of comedic tales about dating, heartbreak, marriage, and more, adapted from Simon Rich’s short stories.” Over its 10-week run, audiences can expect to see a diverse rotating cast, including Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman, and Richard Kind, ensuring each performance offers a unique experience.
