Just mentioning the fact that Saturday Night Live alums Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch are on Broadway at the same time is enough to send Rudolph and Gasteyer into song.
“Come on, take it Dratch!” Gasteyer says mid-intro of “On Broadway.”
“She immediately gave up,” Rudolph laughs.
But all three agree that the occasion calls for a celebration – one they’ve been trying to schedule, but have not yet been able to get to amid the demands of Tony Awards season and the exhaustion that comes with running around stage in a weighty hoop skirt, as in the case of Rudolph.
Rudolph makes her Broadway debut as the latest Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola’s twisted comedic history of the former first lady, following in the footsteps of Escola, Jane Krakowski (who gave her tips on the skirt), Jinkx Monsoon and more.
