Robin Williams Is Coming Back to Broadway
Filed under: Broadway Babies > Old People
After a seven year absence, Robin Williams is heading back to the Great White Way!
The funnyman will do a VERY limited run of his hugely successful one-man show, Weapons of Self Destruction, at the Neil Simon Theater on April 28th, 29th and May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Robin just finished up an 80-city, sold-out, US tour of Weapons, so it looks like Broadway's in for something good.
"I'm excited to be back on Broadway," said Williams. "It's been a blast working on new material for this tour. The current state of the country's political and economic climate, while so hard on so many people, has been like gold for a comedian. There's just so much that's ripe for the picking."
Are you excited about seeing Robin on Broadway?

Like he's going to make fun of Obama-please!
Hey Mork don't you have a sequel to "Patch Adams" to make or something?
Hopefully he'll double up on his Ritalin for his performances
He would not be my first choice!
Robin Williams = one of the best comedians of ALL time.
No..I am not gay.
I'm excited to see him anywhere! Now if we can just get him to star in Equus! Woo Hoo!
Re: CRABBY APPLETON –
He's always acting crazy! It's very annoying! He sucks so bad that he's great!
he'd be great to see on stage. i wonder if he has the same energy he had 20 years ago.
I saw his first live on broadway show and it was halarious and I cant wait to see this one. Chickens Done!
I'd definitely see him. He is stomach cramp funny!!!
Oh I just love Robin Williams…
yesss!
I saw him when he came to Portland. He really does have a lot of energy and there were a couple times I thought I was going to pee my pants.
He's a fucking genius
Robin Williams in person is way better than in his films. I saw him on this current tour and had stomach cramps afterward from laughing so much. The man is a comedic genius.
That sound sooo good… I always run into him around here… he is soooo funny! Can't wait it's soooo worth!
Sorry, his time has passed. You try too hard, dude.
