Will Ferrell Heading To Broadway With Bush

Will Ferrell Heading To Broadway With Bush

Will Ferrell will make his Broadway debut in January in the new solo comedy "You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W Bush."

Production will be helmed by Adam McKay, the writer-director of Ferrell pics "Step Brothers," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."

Plot of the show remains sketchy, but the title and timing suggest a Bush caricature and plenty of topical humor.

Production begins previews Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, ahead of a Feb. 1 opening at the Cort Theater. Limited engagement is skedded to shutter March 15.
