Simon Rich's Broadway play features 6 SNL stars
By Matt Moore
Live from New York ... it's Broadway. Former Saturday Night Live writer Simon Rich has a new Broadway play, and he's brought in some of the show's biggest stars from past and present.
Rich spent four years as a writer on Saturday Night Live, joining the staff in 2007. He frequently collaborated with John Mulaney, writing elaborate premise-based sketches that often found their audience after "Weekend Update" when more experimental material got a chance to shine.
Now, Rich is taking his talents to broadway with All In: Comedy About Love. The play takes Rich's short stories about dating, marriage, and heartbreak and has some of his comedian friends read the stories out loud.
All In will run between December 18 and February 16 at the Hudson Theater in New York City. Performances will feature a rotating cast of four actors, several of whom have connections to Saturday Night Live.
Mulaney will perform in shows between December 11 and January 12. Former SNL cast member Fred Armisen will be in the show during the same period.
Current SNL cast member Chloe Fineman will perform from December 30 through January 12. Ex-cast member Aidy Bryant takes the stage from January 14 through February 2.
Tonight Show host and former cast member Jimmy Fallon appears between January 28 and February 2. And '90s cast member Tim Meadows will join All In from February 4 through February 16.
And to top off the Saturday Night Live connections, show creator Lorne Michaels serves as a producer of All In.
Other performers scheduled to appear include Richard Kind, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Annaleigh Ashford, David Cross, and Hank Azaria.
