B'way Update: John Mulaney, Renee Elise Goldsberry in All In

John Mulaney
Comedian-actor John Mulaney will return to Broadway in All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich beginning performances at the Hudson Theater Dec. 11 for a limited run of ten weeks. Mulaney last appeared on Broadway in the two-character comedy piece Oh, Hello! opposite Nick Kroll. Tony winner Alex Timbers who directed Oh, Hello!, will stage All In.

The cast will consist of a rotating group of four players.

Man Seeking Woman, a comedy series based on his collection The Last Girlfriend on Earth, premiered on FXX in 2015. He is the son of former New York Times theater critic Frank Rich.
