Kroll & Mulaney's OH, HELLO Previews — Page 2

I was familiar with Mulaney and Kroll before tonight, but not their Oh, Hello characters. Honestly, it was a weird piece and a tad long, but I would be lying if I said there wasn't one belly laugh laughter another throughout.

You could really hear their standup voices shining through, and maybe that's why the jokes were more memorable than the plot, but I liked that they poked fun at many cliches of bad playwriting and the jokes and references were very New Yorky.

Katie Couric was our guest star tonight and that segment was terrific. I want to sneak into the Lyceum every night just to see that diner scene.

I strongly recommend Oh, Hello with the caveat being if you can't stand Kroll and/or Mulaney's humor you'll be in for a long night, but I basically loved it.

My favorite thing about their performances was the way they distorted/dropped random vowels from certain words creating a unique cadence to their speech patterns. For example, they drop the "oa" in Broadway to pronounce Brdway. They did it so effortlessly and often at surprising times make you stop and think, "what did they just say? Oh!" (delayed laugh).

Saw the show in Boston in January with friends and didn't know anything about it (other than seeing Kroll on "The League" and Mullaney in "SNL" segments) and I absolutely loved it. Agree that the plot was unmemorable, but they were outstanding. Have tickets for December 3rd and cannot wait.

Knowing John and Nick's stuff as I do, the plot isn't as important as the experience the audience gets from their time being there. It's a happening, after all. So happy for this positive buzz! Opens in 2 weeks!

The past 2 nights the running time has been 1 hour 48 minutes . The past 2 guests where Michael Riedel and last night was Griffin Dunne . They were both very funny interacting with JM and NK . The show is a riot .

Going on Oct 12! Love these guys and this bit (though I missed it at Cherry Lane) so I am pumped!
