Weird Al Yankovic Musical Headed to Broadway

A Weird Al Yankovic musical is coming to Broadway. Dare to Be Stupid: The Weird Al Musical is currently in development, with Alex Timbers set to direct and an original story from Scott Brown, Anthony King , and Yankovic. It’ll feature parodies from his catalog, including “White & Nerdy,” “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” and “Like a Surgeon.”

“Ever since I was a middle-aged man, I’ve always wanted to be a part of the New York theatre community,” Weird Al says. “Plus, the one thing people always say about Broadway is that it’s ‘severely lacking in Weird Al-based entertainment,’ and I think this musical should fix that problem immediately.”

“I first fell in love with Al’s music with the release of Dare to Be Stupid and have remained an avid fan ever since,” Timbers adds. “Now, it’s a dream come true to work with one of my comedy heroes bringing an original story set to his beloved songbook to the stage. What Al, Anthony and Scott are creating is unexpected, subversive, meta and hilarious and I can’t wait for the world to experience it.”

More details are still to come; stay tuned.

Weird Al’s 2026 Bigger and Weirder tour begins later this month, and includes NYC-area shows at Long Island’s UBS Arena on July 11 , and Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on July 12 . See all dates below.
