Last week, as reported by BroadwayWorld, OH, HELLO's Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland, the comedy creations of Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, were quite steamed that New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee depicted them being verbally shot down by a younger woman they meet in a bar.

The single-panel satirist struck again this week with another skewering of the Broadway-bound codgers, this time playing off their love of tuna sandwiches. A vicious attack or free publicity? Let the box office decide.

The Lyceum Theatre box office (149 West 45th Street) opens this Friday, August 26th at 10am for tickets to Oh, Hello on BROADWAY, 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"), starring as their wildly popular alter egos Gil Faizon and George St.Geegland.

Directed by Alex Timbers, the 15-week strictly limited engagement begins previews Friday evening, September 23, opens Monday, October 10, and will run through Sunday, January 8, 2017.

Tickets for Oh, Hello on BROADWAY are also available by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200, or visiting www.telecharge.com. Lyceum Theatre box office hours beginning August 26 are Monday through Saturday from 10am to 8:30pm. Beginning, September 25, the box office is open Monday through Saturday 10am to 8:30pm and Sunday from 12pm to 6pm.

Kroll and Mulaney first began performing as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland - outrageously opinionated, 70-something native New Yorkers - 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.

OH, HELLO quickly sold out an off-Broadway run last fall. The duo played other sold out engagements in San Diego, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles.

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