Will Ferrell has so much to say in his one-man show that it’s appearing on both Broadway and HBO.
Ferrell makes his upcoming Broadway debut in his new one-man show "You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush", reports Variety.
It will officially open on Thursday, February 5th, 2009, with previews starting on January 20th.
Adam McKay,
Will Ferrell's longtime collaborator, has signed on to direct the stage version. McKay and Ferrell have worked on comedy classics Anchor Man, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and this summer's box office hit Step Brothers.
HBO has signed on as a producer and is also set to air a live telecast of the show, at a date to be named later.
The TV special will be directed by Marty Callner, who previously has directed other HBO comedy specials including those of
Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld,
Robin Williams and George Carlin.
