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.

Hilarious, Entertaining, Great writing

See it if you are fans of Nick Kroll or John Mulaney. Their characters are ridiculously funny. Much fun with so many inside jokes about NYC.

Don't see it if you want a traditional play, if you're not a fan of their humor, if you're easily offended or if the NYC humor will go over your head.

Funny, Clever, Hilarious

See it if you love comedy, and are specifically familiar with the characters created by John Mulaney and Nick Kroll.

Don't see it if you're going in blind and expect to see a "classic" Broadway play. This is much more of an 90 minute skit by two of comedies freshest voices Read more

City Cabaret
December 6th, 2016

"A disorganized, screwy Broadway production...As wacky as 'Oh, Hello' is, the laughs are generous, albeit with a squirmy quality with barely a hint of a theme...You get the point of all this, not that there is really any point. For 30-something Kroll and Mulaney, Comedy Central skit favorites, 'Oh, Hello' is an homage to the magic of Broadway...This free-wheeling look at our city's unique characters is over-the-top yet lovable in a repulsive, hands-off kind of way."

"From the moment the houselights dimmed, and Kroll and Mulaney moseyed on from the wings, pandemonium reigned. They were greeted by a huge hand, and for the next 100 minutes laughter followed in waves, erupting about every four or five words...Never have I felt I was such a curmudgeon...I just didn’t get it...I know I’m way out of the mainstream on this one...If you don’t have any history of this original team, it might be more difficult to get at what they are doing up there."

Manhattan Digest

"'Charmed, I’m sure,' says Gil Faizon after nearly every introduction. It’s hard not to be...Kroll and Mulaney, who are in their thirties, use an intentional 'budget' elderly look as a tongue and cheek mechanism—and it works wonderfully. The plot is paper thin and the sophomoric jokes abound, but do not be fooled into thinking that this is only for frat-boys. On the contrary, Kroll and Mulaney have a knack for combining Borscht belt yuks with intelligent, existential humor."

"None of this is especially memorable, but it is very entertaining, especially given the duo's knack for improvisation...Mulaney and Kroll occasionally pause to address audience members who make the mistake of sneezing or, even worse, getting up to use the bathroom. They appear to be having a blast putting on old man makeup and ill-fitting corduroys and trying to make each other laugh. Their spirited silliness proves infectious."

Epoch Times

"The result is nothing short of hilarious, with no intention other than to make you laugh out loud. Kroll and Mulaney are in tip-top form here...The actors know exactly which buttons to push for maximum effect while never really going over the top or staying on any particular subject for too long...Filled with jokes and bits that are often politically incorrect and also occasionally unprintable, 'Oh, Hello on Broadway' is a supremely enjoyable and satisfying experience."

"Whether one 'gets' the show’s humor or not, one cannot ignore the fact that Mr. Kroll and Mr. Delaney have a marvelous chemistry together as a comedy team. The actors, both in their 30s, rely a bit too heavily on old-man stereotypes and insider jokes, but they get laughs regardless, and have a winning gift for improv and highbrow pratfalls. The shtick in 'Oh, Hello on Broadway' isn’t for everybody, but there’s enough hammy humor here to make the show an offbeat hit."

WNBC

"The show's plot is thin...But you're not there for the plot. You're there to see Kroll and Mulaney's masterful take on Faizon and St. Geegland—two incredibly nuanced and well-rounded characters who manage to be wildly offensive and incredibly lovable at the same time. Both are equally excellent...The laughs rarely slow down in the pitch-perfect show either...Alt-comedy fans will surely love 'Oh, Hello.' But rarely do theatergoers get to see such a refreshing, relatable character study."

The Huffington Post
November 10th, 2016

"Impropriety is the lifeblood of Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s 'Oh, Hello,' a savage sendup of growing old and out-of-touch but still persisting...You’ve probably seen these guys in their tattered blazers browsing used bookstores and other faded New York institutions. There’s a darkness that courses through that keeps the jokes uneasy and adds complexity to this thoroughly enjoyable show."
