Michael Mayer, the director behind Tony-winning productions of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and "Spring Awakening," will direct the show, set to begin previews in July. Although contemporary politics is relatively common in smaller-scale Off Broadway productions, its extremely rare for large-scale stage shows to tackle sitting presidents. The closest Broadway has come in recent years is Will Ferrell's George W. Bush comedy "You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W Bush," which began previews the day his successor, Barack Obama, was inaugurated in early 2009.  "The Terms of My Surrender" starts performances July 28 prior to an Aug. 10 opening. .@MMFlint takes Broadway -- and takes aim at Trump -- with his new Bway show. pic.twitter.com/odOleLEf7W — Gordon Cox (@GCoxVariety) May 1, 2017 SEE ALSO: Michael Moore to Electoral College: 'I will pay your fine' if you don't vote for Trump DON'T MISS: Michael Moore makes a new Trump prediction: He may quit 'before he even takes office'   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
