Nick Kroll and John Mulaney announced today that at long last, their wildly popular alter egos Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland will make their debuts on The Great White Way in their acclaimed masterpiece, OH, HELLO on BROADWAY at The Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street).

Performances for OH, HELLO on BROADWAY will begin on Friday September 23 with opening night set for Monday October 10. The show will run through January 8 2017. Alex Timbers directs.

OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is the Broadway premiere of two of the two hottest voices in comedy today, Nick Kroll (Comedy Central's "Kroll Show") and John Mulaney (Netflix's "The Comeback Kid"). The Hollywood Reporter calls Kroll and Mulaney "the funniest comic duo of their generation!"

Respectively, the duo star as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland - outrageously opinionated, 70-something, native New Yorkers that Kroll and Mulaney first began performing on the alternative comedy stages in NYC. Honed for over a decade, the fictional duo garnered a cult following and found their way onto a Comedy Central special, viral videos and late night couches everywhere. OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is Gil and George's "memoir for the stage" - a laugh-a-minute two-man tour-de-force that's part scripted, part spontaneous comedy, and totally unprecedented.

St. Geegland and Faizon have spent their entire lives second-acting Broadway shows and could not be more thrilled to make their Broadway bows. When reached for comment, George said, "This is the furthest dun'town we have been in years and we are not happy about it." Gil added, "I'm terrified. I have to go to the bathroom."

The creative team for OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is Scott Pask (Set), Jake DeGroot (Lighting), M.L. Dogg (Sound), and Emily Rebholz (Costume Consultant).

OH, HELLO quickly sold out an off-Broadway run last fall, prompting New York Magazine to declare, "For a few short weeks, Hamilton had a rival for the title of hottest ticket in town in the form of two old jerks from the Upper West Side." The duo played other sold out engagements in San Diego, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Ben Brantley in the New York Times called the show, "A hoot. The noise from the audience throughout their performance - that of people blind drunk on their own laughter - suggests that the roster of cool theater has now been swelled by the uncoolest dudes on the planet."

Prior to Broadway, Gil and George will perform at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival.

OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is produced on Broadway by Patrick Catullo and Marcia Goldberg with Barbara Whitman, Marc Platt, Pierce Cravens, James G. Kernochan, Jeff Romley, Triptyk Studios, Benjamin Simpson and Joseph Longthorne/ShIra Friedman; the General Manager is 321 Management.

Tickets for OH, HELLO on BROADWAY are now on sale through www.telecharge.com, 212 239 6200. The Lyceum Theatre box office opens on August 26.
