Oh, Hello on broadway
World Premiere at the Lyceum Theater September 23, 2016, New York
Final performance played January 22, 2017
Twist created a "Tunafish Nightmare" effect for the Broadway debut of the two hottest voices in comedy today, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney. Their cult hit, “Oh, Hello,” was transformed for the Lyceum Theater, a “famously haunted theater,” according to the two new residents. Their pre-established fan base from Comedy Central, alt-comedy clubs, obscure videos and new comers alike all go wild for this silly, inspired, and extended version of their honed comic shtick as two affected Upper West Side geezers named Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland.

"...And for the Broadway incarnation of “Oh, Hello,” the fantastical puppeteer Basil Twist has been recruited to provide an extra dimension of terror for an expanded nightmare ballet sequence." – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
