To unseat a president, it will take an act of Broadway.

In a time like no other in American history, and with a sense of urgency like never before, Michael Moore comes to Broadway for the first time in an exhilarating, subversive one-man show guaranteed to take audiences on a ride through the United States of Insanity, explaining once and for all how the f we got here, and where best to dine before crossing over the mountains with the Von Trapp family into Canada.

An unprecedented live event from one of America’s most incisive and hilarious voices.

Reviews

  • Moore — the controversial, baseball cap-wearing political activist, documentary filmmaker (“Bowling for Columbine,” “Fahrenheit 9/11”) and author (“Stupid White Men”) — famously predicted that Trump would win the election. His Flint, Michigan, background apparently gave him insight into the cultural forces that would propel Trump’s surprise victory. In any event, the show (which runs just under two hours, without intermission) is a fun and freewheeling night of theater for Moore’s fans and anyone else who wants to attend.
  • Michael Moore’s solo show, “The Terms of My Surrender,” comes as close to being a campaign rally as anything you are likely to see on Broadway – or anywhere else, for that matter, save an actual one. And yet this shaggy but enjoyable evening, an autobiographical solo show spliced with a rabble-rousing call to arms against the reigning political regime, contains more surprises – and more funny diversions – than I expected.
  • If your liberal heart is mighty sore, if no amount of strongly-voiced castigation and disapproval of President Trump is too much, then documentary-maker Michael Moore's The Terms of My Surrender is for you. Left-wing politics has come overtly and brashly to Broadway-the only things missing are Trump piñatas to bash the hell out of at intermission.
