The world premiere of Simon Rich‘s All Out: Comedy About Ambition, with direction by Tony Award-winner Alex Timbers, will begin performances Friday, December 12, at Broadway‘s Nederlander Theatre with an all-star rotating cast set to include Jon Stewart, Eric Andre, Jim Gaffigan, Wayne Brady, Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, Ray Romano and others.
See the full cast list below.
Produced on Broadway by Seaview and Lorne Michaels, Micah Frank and Caroline Maroney on behalf of Broadway Video, All Out is Rich’s follow-up to last Broadway season’s hit All In: Comedy About Love that established the pattern: Readings of Rich’s work, based on his short stories, by top-name comedic performers. Last year’s run included John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Aidy Bryant and others.
The synopsis for the new show: “What happens when a group of the funniest people on earth gather on Broadway to read hilarious stories by Simon Rich about ego, envy, greed, and basically just New Yorkers in general.”
All Out will feature a rotating cast of four actors cycling through the 12-week run, with original music performed by soul-pop band Lawrence for all performances.
