Will Ferrell Hits Broadway
Will Ferrell is slated to make his Broadway debut in a new one-person comedy titled “You’re Welcome America — A Final Night with George W. Bush.”
The production will be directed by the comedian’s FunnyOrDie.com partner Adam McKay, who also wrote and directed the Ferrell flicks “Step Brothers,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”
Not many details are available yet, but the New York Post reports that Ferrell’s show will be an autobiographical piece, reminiscent of Billy Crystal’s play “700 Sundays.”
Ferrell is also expected to reprise his famous Bush impersonation from “Saturday Night Live.”
The show will open at the Cort Theatre on Feb. 1, with previews starting on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.
