Kroll and Mulaney have tested and refined the show on the road and at a brief off-off Broadway run at the Cherry Lane Theater. And it's the silver-haired Gil and George who are the stars of Oh, Hello at the Lyceum. Over the years their fan base grew via Comedy Central. They started to do their shtick as these two, often outrageously opinionated alte kakkers, one an actor and the other a novelist and playwright. Something about a typical forever-in-New York 70-something pair Kroll and Mulaney spotted buying a copy of Alan Alda's memoir, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed struck their always primed for inspiration funny bones. And now, a visit to the Strand some ten years ago has propelled stand-up comics Nick Kroll and John Mulaney all the way to Broadway. It's brought luck to lots of its customers, like a friend of mine still happily married to a man she met there many years ago. It's been featured in films, TV serials, novels and short stories. Unlike so many New York landmarks the Strand Book Store, with its miles and miles of used, old, antiquarian books has survived.
