The Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs Inspires New Broadway Show All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich


Last week, producers Seaview and Lorne Michaels announced some details about the new Broadway show All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich. The production, directed by Alex Timbers, stars John Mulaney and opens at New York’s Hudson Theatre on Wednesday, December 11.

Now, it’s been announced that the musical duo the Bengsons will take part in All In, playing songs from the Magnetic Fields. “69 Love Songs, by the Magnetic Fields, directly inspired me to write the love stories that became All In,” Simon Rich commented in a press release. “Stephin Merritt is my favorite living songwriter, and he’s probably better than all the dead ones I like, too.”

In addition, Stephin Merritt told Rolling Stone, “I am excited to see how this famous humorist has used my songs. It’s always fun to see how actors interpret them, and if I weren’t on tour, I’d be sneaking into rehearsals, pretending to be a stagehand.”

All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich, according to a synopsis, features “a series of hilarious stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and that sort of thing, adapted from the short stories of Simon Rich.” Across its 10-week run, it’ll be performed by a rotating cast of actors, including Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman, and Richard Kind.
