Video: Inside the Gala Celebration for ALL IN: COMEDY ABOUT LOVE

I'm Emily Grace Tucker, and I'm here with Broadway World at the Hudson Theater on the red carpet of the gala performance of All In, a comedy about love

Come with us. You know, the idea was like, why isn't there a love letters for 2024

You know, something where amazing performers can come in and read amazing stories, and the audience leans in and uses their imagination

And so that was kind of the start of the journey. Simon Rich is my favorite comedy writer

I've always wanted to work with him. like a theater lover, I thought, Simon belongs on Broadway

Like, his stories are so theatrical. So here we are. I'm very excited about it

Alex Timbers is the director who they actually have to work with day in and day out

And I think he's the reason I think why a lot of people are taking a chance on this show

because they're just so excited for the opportunity to collaborate with them. And that's one of the reasons why I'm here

I've been a fan of his for years. And we had never met until this project

Yeah and until he reached out to me and so I just ecstatic at the chance to collaborate with him and with this incredible cast And obviously I know some of the cast I worked with them on other projects but this experience has been so thrilling because I get to sit in and watch Alex work with these performers to find these intimate character portrayals

And I'm just so excited about how it turned out. It's just always a slight feeling of dread

Now, I'm excited, but I do always get nervous. Now, this is not your first time on Broadway, correct

No. No, so you're coming back, but you've always done plays. Are we ever going to get you in a musical

And if so, what musical do you want to do, and what do you want to play

Oh, that's a good question. I would say, I'd love to do Sweeney Todd

But it would be a mistake to cast me because I couldn't sing it

And by the way people have you know that been floated and discussed and the community has said no to me So there no musical coming down Well I would pay good money to see you do that

I think some people in a Florence Foster Jenkins type setting of, like, this delusional idiot thinks he can sing might pay to see it

But, yeah, I don't know if night after night. Is there anything that you are, like, really striving and looking forward to

people you're going to meet, anything like that? No, just doing a good show every night

It's, well, they're paying me. I better do it. I love the whole process of it

So what I was looking forward to has already happened. Like the fact that we've already been working on it

that every day we work on specific words, it's already happening. All my dreams of what I wanted it to be has already come true

I'm looking forward to the fact that my husband is seeing the show for the first time tonight. And this is a show about love

I think of the writer Simon Rich knows what love is. I'm telling you

He he he he celebrates it in the so many forms in this show And I I I the person that feeds me and fuels me in the way that it makes it easy to tell these stories is here seeing the show for the first time

This is a show all about love stories. We're curious if there's anything that you are currently falling in love with

It could be a person, it could be a pet, it could be a food. What are you currently falling in love with

I am currently falling in love with these spandex, elastic bows I can put on my baby daughter's head

because they stay on and then she's got a bow on her head all day

and she doesn't even know it. There's a podcast called A History of Rock Music in 500 songs

It's so good. I thought I knew about music. I know nothing

It's so good. I can't get enough of it. What is something that you are falling in love with currently

It could be a TV show. It can be a food. It can be a pet. It can be a person. Yeah, I can..

A person, but I'm not telling you. I mean, we knew Hudson

So there you go
