Alec Baldwin
Considering Anti-Trump One-Man Broadway Show
by Ben Kew 12 Dec 2017
Actor Alec Baldwin has confirmed
he is considering taking his infamous impression of President Donald Trump to
Broadway in a one-man show based on his popular Saturday Night Live routine.
“We may take the book and make it into a one-man show on
Broadway,” Baldwin said in a Monday interview on
The
Howard Stern Show in order to promote his recent faux-chronicle
of Donald Trump entitled You Can’t Spell America Without Me.
Baldwin added that any show would be produced
by Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live.
“What Lorne did do is give me permission to write this
book,” Baldwin said. “My rendering of (Trump) is his intellectual
property. His people made it, his people wrote it; I just showed up.”
Baldwin claimed that the show would be similar to Will
Ferrell’s one-man show You’re Welcome, America: A Final Night With
George W. Bush, which was similarly exported from his impersonation of
Bush on Saturday Night Live.
The SNL star previously claimed he would
retire his Trump impression, but later did a U-turn and announced he
would reprise his
role for the current season.
On Monday, he also said that he and his co-author Kurt
Andersen were “sick” of Trump being used as a source of comedy.
“We’re all sick of the whole Trump as a source of comedy
thing, and I am too, but Kurt goes to another level,” he said.
The actor is known for his harsh criticism of the
president, and recently implored Americans
to “send Trump to a retirement home in Moscow where he belongs.”
Earlier this year, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore
staged a one-man, anti-Trump Broadway show, titled The Terms of My Surrender,
for a twelve-week run. Moore recently announced his intention to take the show
on a national tour, despite the Broadway version’s mixed critical reception
and poor box office performance.
