Documentary filmmaker and left-wing activist Michael Moore plans to take on President Donald Trump in an original one-man Broadway show. “I’m in a ‘take no prisoners’ mode,” Moore said Monday during a press conference at Sardi’s in New York City, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve seen newspapers take down presidents, TV shows bring down CEOs, books have taken down the powerful — art forms have contributed to making things better. Why don’t we see if every night — and twice in the afternoon for 12 weeks — if a piece of theater could raise enough of a ruckus to discombobulate a man sitting in the Oval Office?”
“I don’t know, but I’d like to find out. Hey, stranger things have happened in the last year,” he added.
The Terms of My Surrender will reportedly run for 12 weeks at the Belasco Theater, and will be directed by Tony-winner Michael Mayer. Tony Award-winner David Rockwell will design the set. Production for the show is being led by IMG Original Content.
Moore, who was one of the first celebrities to successfully predict Trump’s election, made his announcement standing next to a production prop that poses the question: “Can a Broadway show bring down a sitting president?”
In an interview with the New York Times, Moore described the play as a humorous take on a “country that’s just elected a madman — I mean, there’s really no other way to put it.”
Moore told reporters at Monday’s press conference that he hopes President Trump or Vice President Mike Pence will come see the Broadway show.

Brave man in this era of kooks gone deadly.
Or are they going to have metal detectors at the ticket booth?
What is he pissed about?
This administration is becoming one non-stop continuous cave-in. There is not one thing in the budget that Chucky-Schmucky disapproves of, not one item. But hey, maybe next year, or maybe if instead of majorities we can get like super-duper majorities. Of course if we elect 75% majorities, we wont really really be able to do anything conservative unless we have 80% majorities.
Moore is Moore’s biggest fan.
Sounds like someone has a pretty high opinion of himself.
At least Fatty Arbuckle made "silent" films.
the reason the run is so short is because no one will want to come and see it!
100 days in. Moore has no idea how the Trump administration will turn out so it’s all about the money. Moore is a hate crime.
“will run 12 weeks”...
How do they determine that? If it sucks (which I’m sure it will), it could close within days of opening. That is how Broadway works.
Well, we can thank the fat ugly idiot for the four minutes of truth in his Trumpland documentary that helped swing several important Midwestern swing states to Trump.
Progressives trying to normalize hate in everyday life.
Might run for months, since commie deep pockets foot the
bill for what’s going on in the streets today.
Moore can’t bring Trump Hate to Broadway - it’s already
there. Too many people are paying too high of a price for
today’s shows and then stay seated while being insulted by un-righteous leftist ideals - that are NOT funny. Suckers.
Why didn’t those with the unhappy faces at the WH correspondences dinner get up and leave!?!?
We dont want you to surrender Mikey.
I think Moore is big enough to count as more than a one-man show.
“FATS”-The Musical...
"And a 'leave no leftovers," he added. A Domino's Pizza delivery driver confirmed both statements.
They better re-enforce the stage.
Who could stand watching and listening to this fat-a** rant for two hours?! And pay for it!
I hear you.
Broadway ain’t what it used to be.
