The Verdict Read the Reviews For All In: Comedy About Love By Simon Rich On Broadway

John Mulaney, René Elise Goldsberry, and more are amongst the starry, rotating cast at the Hudson Theatre.

Company of All In: Comedy About Love Emilio Madrid

All In: Comedy About Love By Simon Rich officially opened its Broadway run at the Hudson Theatre December 22, and the reviews are in! See what critics are saying about the new show, directed by Alex Timbers and running through February 16, 2025, below.

The work comprises Simon Rich-penned stories about dating, heartbreak, and marriage, all adapted from short stories that were published in The New Yorker, whose cartoonist Emily Flake has created illustrations for the production as well. The performances also feature live music from married musical duo The Bengsons, comprising Abigail and Shaun Bengson. The pair are performing songs live on stage from The Magnetic Fields (composed by Stephin Merritt), including songs from the album 69 Love Songs, which Rich says inspired the stories that serve as the play's script.

And performing the stories are an all-star roster of Broadway and comedy favorites that will change throughout the run. John Mulaney is leading the first group alongside Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Richard Kind. Jill Abramovitz and Ben Steinfeld are serving as standbys. Goldsberry's run continues through December 30, and Kind's will continue through January 12, 2025.
