"Lawrence's energy is fitting, considering she's worked in the entertainment business since childhood and is performing eight times a week in a show that explores work and ambition. All Out: Comedy About Ambition, a follow-up to last year's All In: Comedy About Love, is based on a collection of short stories by Simon Rich about ego, greed, envy, and, at its core, New York City."
"She comes from a showbiz background - her father is director-screenwriter Marc Lawrence, who wrote Miss Congeniality - and at age 12 made her Broadway debut in the 2009 revival of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs (which ran at the same theater she's performing in now). The show lasted only nine performances, giving the then-preteen a crash course in how capricious and fleeting Broadway success can be."
Gracie Lawrence arrives bundled at Boqueria near Times Square after a heavy snowstorm, eager for a snack and conversation. She performs eight times a week in All Out: Comedy About Ambition, a Broadway show based on Simon Rich stories that probes ego, greed, envy and New York City, with a rotating cast at the Nederlander Theatre. Between scenes, she and her brother Clyde perform with their soul-pop group Lawrence, playing songs from their 2024 album Family Business. She comes from a showbiz family—her father is director-screenwriter Marc Lawrence—and made her Broadway debut at 12, an early experience that exposed the volatility of theatrical success and led her to avoid theater for years out of fear she might not get another chance.
