Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, should they have a show on broadway?

I love them as a couple, but I love them even more as a comic duo. I think it would be amazing if they wrote a two person play then brought it to broadway. Perhaps during the summer or holiday months.

I could see them have a stand-up show together in a Broadway theater.

They were both Off-Broadway together a few years ago...

I think that I remember them doing a tour, as well.

I wish they could have replaced in Hello, Dolly!

I would love to see them in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I also think they'd be great in Sweeney if Nick can sing it.

Annapurna really was a fun little show.

I would love to see them do an actual show together, but even a performance piece (similar to “Oh, Hello”) would be great. Take my money. I watch plenty of their interviews and love their new book.

I love Megan, but I have a special place in my heart for her uber-daddy husband.

He said the same thing re: VW at Symphony Space last week at a book reading/interview they had in conjunction to their joint memoir being published,

Both Megan and Nick come from a stage background.  They both have never been stand-up comedians therefore it’s a platform they both would never consider doing.  I just asked Megan (via DM).

They don't do stand up, but I could definitely see them playing heightened versions of themselves and doing a show about love, sex, and their marriage. It's already a part of their personas and Offerman has already done a one-man show as "Nick Offerman."  

I love them both and would love to see them together onstage in something that really gives them the opportunity to shine. Their chemistry is palpable- even when they just cameo in the other's projects.

They toured a stand-up like show a few years ago called "Summer of 69: No Apostrophe" that was basically about their relationship and sex life. It was a mix of stories and songs and was hilarious. I'd love to see them do that in NYC for a limited run, and maybe film it for Netflix.

Oh my. I think I nearly fainted. They would be IDEAL to lead Hello, Dolly somewhere! It would allow them both to do their "schtick" and serve the show perfectly.

I was lucky enough to catch Nick opening/supporting Megan's band (can't remember the name of the other vocalist). The way they play off each other is incredible! I mean, can you imagine the Harmonia Gardens scene and soon after, Megan chowing down those dumplings??? And then the deep sincerity of the closing scene? Wow, just, wow.

Like Gleek said, they toured Summer Of 69 : No Apostrophe a couple of years ago, it was exactly the show you have described! Music, comedy, I loved it...

 maybe film it for Netflix...

It's been filmed already, and went out on Epix. You can watch it here, if you have access (or probably track it down elsewhere).

A few years ago, they would've been wonderful in Gionfriddo's "Becky Shaw." The brother and sister roles? Anyone else a fan of the play?  That's the kind of stuff they could nail. Someone suggested "Frankie and Johnnie," but Meghan, good as she is, doesn't read as that type of striving woman.

The Curran in SF had free tickets when they were in town for their book tour last weekend and I had to miss it because I was out of town. So jealous you got to see them!

Call me stupid but I saw them do Annapurna a couple years ago in New York..  At the time I had no idea there were married, and I arrived just before curtain so didn't have time to read the Playbill and find that out.  It wasn't till later when I read that I realized why their onstage chemistry was so great.

Far out fantasy BUT if they ever made Overboard a musical she nails those high status characters and Nick Offerman is literally a carpenter.
