What the hell does Michael Moore want now?
Is it not enough that for nearly 30 years, this cinematic provocateur has used his movies to harangue us about gun control, the George W. Bush administration, single-payer health care and his myriad other bleeding-heart causes? Didn’t we just spend an election season enduring this man — a bold truth-teller to some, a tedious self-promoter to others — and his Cassandra-like warnings that President Trump was going to win?
Now Mr. Moore, this willfully disheveled, 63-year-old hybrid of Noam Chomsky and P. T. Barnum, expects theatergoers to pay Broadway ticket prices to watch him in a one-man show, “The Terms of My Surrender.”After his previous documentaries, books and television shows, does he have anything left to say, and does he really believe it will make a difference?
“I am not going to take up people’s time or this valuable space to lecture people,” Mr. Moore said, sitting in the orchestra level of the Belasco Theater. “I’m not coming to this stage every night to conduct a political rally.”
Instead, he said, he wants to tell stories that will make audiences feel better about this fractured nation, in a show from which they will emerge rejuvenated after a monthslong period of feeling beaten down.

Please; just had a late breakfast and that image comes up on the screen! Have you no decency?
Who in their right mind, would want to spend money to go watch Old Abnoxious Fat man wearing a Pussy Hat and spewing garbage out of his mouth. I wouldn't go even if they pay me.
P.T. Barnum would have Michael Moore in a cage with the rest of the miss-fits.
He's definitely one of the headliners in the Great American Sideshow.
Who would pay to watch and listen to him? Just wait and see.
I think the "One Man Show" depicts his audience. He's the only one there.
