LOVE IS PATIENT. LOVE IS KIND. LOVE IS COMPLICATED… And so is ALL IN: COMEDY ABOUT LOVE, a series of hilarious short stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and that sort of thing— written by Simon Rich (Saturday Night Live, The New Yorker) — and read live by some of the funniest people on the planet, with different groups of four taking the stage each week.

A talented cast has fun in Simon Rich’s Broadway debut, but the minimally staged show doesn’t quite justify the hefty price of tickets.

It’s got a simple center, with some fun and some heart to it, but the commercial stunt of the whole endeavor is pointed and unavoidable.

The 90-minute All In is a perfect holiday snickerdoodle, a light and tasty snack no less funny for its brevity and lack of splashy production values.

Ticket-buyers are being charged as much as $800 a pop some weeks for what is little more than a sedate staged reading of New Yorker cartoon captions uttered by celebrities.

“All In” brings a different kind of comedy to the stage, a gentler kind of wit, packaged at a modest length and in a minimalist form, though elegantly staged by Alex Timbers and designed by a theatrical A-team.

All In may not be a full dramatic meal, but it’s a tasty treat for the run-up to Valentine’s Day, sweet and tart as a candy heart.

I have to say that I was smiling throughout much of the show, but with the exceptions of one or two winners, All In feels like a joke that goes on for too long and it doesn’t have the knee-slapping payoff to make it worth 90 minutes of your time.

Theatricality can be spun out of minimal blocking as the actors gesture and emote from their seats, but All In remains limited as a conceptual presentation rather than a fully realized theatrical event.

Many of those around me were laughing, yes, though never guffawing, never delivering the sorts of belly laughs that often elicit yet increased communal laughter.

It’s all very cozy, like a reading at your favorite independent bookstore, except that the Hudson is a large theater and, with the exception of benefits, audiences don’t generally pay hundreds of dollars to attend readings.
READ THE REVIEWDecember 22, 2024
Varying in length from short and sweet to overextended, they’re literate, irreverent, and goofy in that knowing way one associates with the kind of bright, impeccably educated young men (and sometimes women) who find success writing for late-night television shows and prestigious magazines.
