Dare to Be Stupid: The Weird Al Musical is in development for Broadway, built around songs from Yankovic’s catalog spanning more than four decades.
Alex Timbers will direct the show, with an original story by Scott Brown, Anthony King and Yankovic; Seaview is producing.
The musical is set to draw on signature parody hits including “White & Nerdy,” “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Smells Like Nirvana” and “Like a Surgeon.”
Additional creative-team details and a production timeline have not been announced, leaving the Broadway rollout still in early development.
