“All In: Comedy About Love” has recouped its Broadway investment. The news comes on the heels of the Feb. 16 closing of the Simon Rich play’s limited ten-week engagement. Following previews that began on Dec. 11, 2024, “All In” opened on Dec. 22 at the Hudson Theatre.
The production’s initial capitalization was $4.8 million, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This announcement marks the third production opening in the 2024-2025 season to reveal recoupment; “Romeo + Juliet” and “Oh, Mary!” both recently made back their initial investments.
During its tenure on the Main Stem, “All In” regularly grossed in excess of $1 million and played to full capacity. During the week ending Feb. 2, the production took in $2,080,707, marking the highest weekly gross for a straight-play in the history of the 122-year-old Hudson.
Based on stories Rich originally wrote for the New Yorker, “All In” features comedic vignettes about relationships, love and marriage. Under the direction of Alex Timbers, “All In” featured a cast of four, taken on by a variety of performers, each of whom appeared in the play for anywhere from one to five weeks. The opening-night company featured Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Richard Kind and John Mulaney; replacement players included Annaleigh Ashford, Hank Azaria, Aidy Bryant, David Cross, Jimmy Fallon, Chloe Fineman, Nick Kroll, Tim Meadows, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Rannells. Jill Abramovitz and Ben Steinfeld served as standbys. “All In” also featured the musical duo the Bengsons, who sang songs by the Magnetic Fields.
The production recently announced that “All Out: Comedy About Life,” also by Rich and a companion piece to “All In,” will open on Broadway during the 2025-2026 season.
“All In” was produced on Broadway by Seaview, Lorne Michaels, Micah Frank, Caroline Maroney and the New Yorker.
