About the Show

Comedians Nick Kroll and John Mulaney channel their beloved, 70-something alter egos known for their turtlenecks, misinformed beliefs, and tendency to say "Oh, hello!" This Off-Broadway hit transfers to the Main Stem.

Entertaining, Hilarious, Raunchy

See it if you are a fan of the characters, obviously, but also if you love to hate New York.

Don't see it if you know nothing about this city. Lots of inside jokes that would go over a tourist's head.

Clever, Hilarious, Quirky, Refreshing, Surprisingly referential

See it if you want to laugh a lot & be thoroughly entertained. The humor is raunchy, but improv helps make it an oddly fun love letter to Broadway.

Don't see it if South Park/Rick & Morty/Adult Swim humor isn't your thing - it's definitely more of a younger generation's style of humor. Read more

Don't see it if You want a serious or more straight forward evening with a more straight forward plot line. DO NOT GO IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!

Entertaining, Delightful, Great writing, Hilarious, Laugh-out-loud funny

See it if you want to have a fun night out and laugh your ass off. Such a hilarious, delightful show

Don't see it if you want more of an actual "play". This isn't so much a play as a prolonged comedy sketch or even stand-up bit.

Funny

See it if you enjoy funny shows. You enjoy shows like SNL as the comedians will start to laugh at certain parts. Watch on Netflix!

Don't see it if you don't enjoy raunchy humor that is at times nonsensical. You don't like the comedian's style.

Hilarious, Entertaining, Crazy (good), Outrageous, Must see

See it if You want crazed "characters" in the best sense of the word for 90 minutes making you laugh so hard you'll have to go home and ice your face.

Don't see it if You're a strictly by-the-book theatergoer. You have no sense of humor. You'd rather stay home + watch EMPIRE do the same tired stuff again.

Clever, Delightful, Great acting, Hilarious, Refreshing

See it if You love all styles of comedy as this original show is a pastiche of comedic styles. You are a NY'er or you are familiar with life in NYC.

Don't see it if You are looking for a traditional style play. You don't enjoy stand up. You want to watch high brow comedy. This is wonderfully low brow !

Hilarious, Entertaining, Clever, Tuna-ful

See it if You're already a Kroll & Mulaney fan (and their Faizon & St Geegland alter egos); you're from NYC & a theater fan. (Lots of inside jokes!)

Don't see it if you're not prepared to just relax & laugh at an unpretentious, simplistic (but clever) show that pokes fun at "quintessential New Yorkers".

Times Square Chronicles
October 14th, 2016

"This act, by Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, consists of two curmudgeonly old men...Personally I don’t get it and the emperor has NO clothes...A series of comedy sketches, where the two try to crack each other up and do most of the time. By the way, unprofessional. There is no plot, arc, nor is it funny. I laughed at maybe one joke. What you get is 100 minutes of stupidity...It’s all an inside joke, that I seriously do not get! By the way, a lot of the audience does not get it either."

The Wrap
October 10th, 2016

"The big problem with 'Oh, Hello' is that Mulaney doesn’t deliver. He’s neither the classic straight man who sets up the zany alpha male (Kroll) nor is he an even mildly amusing caricature in his own right...Promises to be much raunchier and offensive than it ever delivers...Often resembles a 'Pee-wee’s Playhouse' for the post-millennial crowd. No surprise, it’s directed by Alex Timbers, who brought 'The Pee-wee Herman Show' to Broadway a few seasons ago and has never recovered."

The Huffington Post

"Strap yourself into the roller coaster and ride along for ninety-five minutes of hilarious insanity or insane hilarity, take your pick...The scenery—designed by Scott Pask—is full of jokes, including some real belly laughs...Alex Timbers directs; or perhaps we should say he successfully manages to keep up with his actors (who seem to be unrestrainedly improvising along the way)...It starts out funny and moves past hysterical to sublime."

"Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland of 'Oh, Hello on Broadway' are refreshingly crotchety. For those unfamiliar with these cantankerous oldsters, Gil and George are bizarre creations of 30-something comics Nick Kroll and John Mulaney...The structure of their two-man show is loosey-goosey...Director Alex Timbers keeps the daffy duo on a relaxed leash, allowing them to romp and jump but not run out of control...Anyone with a taste for tangy humor should see 'Oh, Hello.'"

Wolf Entertainment Guide
November 23rd, 2016

"I find Kroll and Mulaney funnier in manner and outrageousness—they are very good comics—than in much of their material. However, they often exhibit very savvy comments reflecting knowledge of theater, culture and politics...The sort of humor that will arouse laughter in some and possibly make others uncomfortable. One can say that these cut-ups are an acquired taste...Alex Timbers directs the show with a clear understanding of what makes these entertainers funny."

"What’s 'Oh, Hello on Broadway' doing on Broadway? You may well ask. Depending on your threshold for the shaggy ridiculous, you may well keep asking yourself during much of the wildly uneven 95 minutes...The show bungees around with absurd, occasional cleverness, with dated references to Blue Man Group and softball observations about theater cliches....Timbers encourages a breathless pace that suggests we are not meant to ponder too long on any of the foolishness."

"They're smart and very funny–at times. But, over 95 minutes, there is also a fair share of clunkers, bottom-drawer lines...And in a show as loosely constructed as this, without a strong through line to carry interest past bumpy moments, the evening rises and falls joke by joke...For the person who comes to the theater innocent of knowledge of Kroll and Mulaney, their extended sketch of a show will likely depend on how he or she responds to a pair of cantankerous elder citizens."

Financial Times (UK)
October 11th, 2016

"A gleefully misanthropic sketch show...The laughter here often hinges on the feeling that we probably shouldn’t be finding any of this quite so funny...But when that banter knowingly sends up its own bigotry, then we may guffaw as well as groan...That blend of arcane local colour, highbrow repartee and toilet humour makes for an improbably enjoyable evening. 'Oh, Hello' may just consist of two evil old men gassing on stage for 90 plotless minutes, but you’ll love them by the end."
