Mulaney and Michaels’ Broadway Hit “All In” Breaks Records—and There’s More to Come!
You know you’ve hit a home run when your show not only recoups its Broadway capitalization but also sets a venue record for weekly gross. That’s exactly what happened with “All In: Comedy About Love,” Simon Rich’s laugh-fest that showcased an all-star rotating cast (think John Mulaney, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Fred Armisen—yeah, those names ring a bell). The play wrapped its 10-week run at the Hudson Theatre on February 16, 2025, celebrating its success with a swanky final bow. Producers Lorne Michaels and Seaview revealed that the production not only grossed a staggering $2,080,707 in one week—record-breaking for the Hudson—but has catapulted into a sequel: “All Out: Comedy About Life,” set to hit Broadway next season.
With director Alex Timbers returning, you can already feel the buzz in the theater community. Rich himself is ecstatic about the follow-up, stating, “It’s about ambition, envy, ego, spite, and the blind pursuit of fame and fortune.” Sounds like the perfect recipe for more witty quips and sharp humor that New Yorkers have grown to adore—arguably more relevant than the whimsicalities of love.
For a little context, “All In” opened to rave reviews back on December 22, 2024, after preview performances kicked off on December 11. It gathered taste-makers and heads of the theater like moths to a flame, snagging a cast that would make any production jealous. The rotating nature of the lineup meant that fans had multiple chances to catch their favorites—while others got to witness some of the best in showbiz stepping out of their comfort zones.
As Broadway continues to evolve with thrilling new productions, “All Out” not only promises another hearty mix of talent and humor, but it also appears primed to explore themes that hit close to home in today’s hyper-competitive landscape. So, if you’re wondering where the celebration of celebrity culture and human ambition is going next, stay tuned!
