Michael Moore made his Broadway debut to a sold-out crowd at the first preview of his new one-man show, “The Terms of My Surrender” over the weekend.
According to a spy, “he actually sings [well!] and dances [not so well]” in the performance, which ran two hours. There were guest flybys from comedian Judah Friedlander, who agreed to be Moore’s running mate if he chooses to run in 2020, and documentarian Morgan Spurlock. There was also plenty of Trump bashing, but Moore saved his most scathing words for Rick Snyder, the Michigan governor whom Moore blames for the ongoing water crisis in his hometown of Flint.
Security was tight at the Belasco Theatre, with a heavy police presence. In the theater, there is a lighted “presidential box” decked out in red, white and blue, reserved each night for the Trump family.
Moore said, “I guarantee you, before the end of the run, somebody will use that box.”
After the shows, Moore greeted more than 100 fans at the stage door.
A starry opening night is set for Aug. 10.
