Jimmy Fallon makes his debut on Broadway with “All in”

Jimmy Fallon will play four days a week for millions of television viewers on the NBC's “The Tonight Show” host. However, when he stepped into the stage of the Hudson Theater in front of about 1,000 theater participants, he was nervous in a completely new way.

“If you think too much about it, you will reconsider it,” Falon made a debut on Broadway on Tuesday night with “All in: Comedy of Love”.

“I'm exhilarating, exciting, and tired,” he added in an interview after the performance in the dressing room. “I don't really do much.”

“All in”, a short comedy segment based on the story directed by Simon Rich and Alex Timbers features a rotating cast of an actor with a brand name that tends to retain the script because it does not have much rehearsal time. 。

Fallon (50 years old) shared the stage with Lin Manuel Miranda, Ady Bryant, and Nick Crawl (the band led by the couple Benson) appeared only in eight performances. But that's still equivalent to his Broadway debut. This is a big deal for Sogatis, New York, who was fascinated by the Tony Award on TV, and the “Rarabai of Broadway” at the Milford Plaza Hotel.

In comedy, Fallon draws a series of characters: pirates, young mothers, and elephant men. His delivery was remarkably clever for those who have been rehearsing for only two days. Introducing his comedy skills, the ability to convey the characters through voice and posture, and the comfort of pants.

The audience supported Fallon's efforts, but some of them were already dedicated to Akaulite. After taping “The Tonight Show” in the afternoon, he was exposed to the moonlight on Broadway, and at least one fan who traveled from California attended both and brought a flower bouquet on the stage door. Ta.

However, Fallon said the theater needed different muscles and it was a challenge.

“My show -we wrote it the day before, then you do it, and there's another thing tomorrow. So I have to do it again.” 。 “So I go,” he said. Oh, I might have done it more. Oh, I hurried, I spoke too fast. But then you laugh, and when you land, you go. Yeah. Okay, I understand. The head on the water. good. “”

Also, as when his fellow pirates become softer towards their caring girls, there are several gentle moments in the play -Fallon is “interesting stretching for me.” I said.

But he also said he felt he was at home in the theater world. As a result, stage performers often appeared as guests of “Late Night” hosted from 2009 to 2014, especially that they had belt from “Gypsy”.

“She rarely needed a microphone. She was very powerful,” Fallon recalls. “From her performance, I saw people crying in the audience.

“I'm a friend and friend of the Broadway community,” he continued. “They are bartenders and servers, and those who do three jobs just to stay in the city. It's like a Broadway for me. It's a dream.”

Fallon said that he had been looking for a “Saturday Night Live” since his childhood from 1998 to 2004, and had equated such a unique focus. It is drawn as a midnight host.

Nevertheless, despite all of Fallon's success and fame, theater has proved to be its own Everest. “I have never received any more text or emails in a lifetime than this,” he said. “I'll come on Wednesday, I'm coming on Thursday,” but I don't want to come this week. “

“Why can't you come?” He said. “I pray for good luck. Or actually broke my legs.”

Falon's wife, Nancy Jvonen, was in the audience. “I know how nervous I am,” he said. “I have been reading my line over and over again in the past month. I actually put my line in the voice of my voice and listen to work every day.

“How sad would it be if someone was laughing at what I could hear?” “” What are you listening to? “” ACK, it's embarrassing: I myself. “

The shows will be held until February 16, featuring Analyzhford, David Cross, Timmedows, and Hank Azalia for the remaining weeks.

After the curtain call on Tuesday, Fallon changed from a sophisticated suit and went out of the stage door where the fans were in the cold (“We love you!”). He greeted them eagerly, signed the signature, and showed patience to laughing for selfie.

After promising to hold a show, Fallon said he knew that the “tonight's show” was recorded at the Hudson Theater originally owned by the NBC. “Steve Allen in 1954 started a tonight show here,” he said. “I can't even make up for it.”

The full -time skeleton returned home on Tuesday evening. He walked from the 30 Rockefeller Plaza on TV to the Hudson Theater on the West 44th Street for the first performance.

“I recorded what I just walked,” Hey, I'm doing this. I don't know if there is a ghost or an angel, but I do that. He said he wanted to record from the “tonight show”. “And I came here in 8 minutes.”

Miranda was the first person he saw when he arrived at the theater. He stood next to many celebration balloons sent from Fallon's family (and his dog's Gary). “Let's go. We are on Broadway,” Fallon recalls what Miranda said. “Let's do it. '”
