Michael Moore has released a statement following last weekend's final performance of his solo show The Terms of My Surrender, which recently played Broadway's Belasco Theatre. In the statement, Moore announces plans to take the show on tour, saying, "As for The Terms of My Surrender — there is no surrender! We'll be taking our Broadway show on the road next summer!"

The full statement is as follows: "My 100 performances on Broadway represent perhaps the most fulfilling experience of my career. Having the opportunity to play the Belasco for tens of thousands of New Yorkers (and people from around the country and the world), with a simple and urgent message, has been one of the great honors of my life. And I am deeply moved to be so warmly embraced by the Broadway community.

"Broadway remains a powerful hub of American popular culture and I plan on being back — with both a new play and a new one-man show — soon.

"As for The Terms of My Surrender — there is no surrender! We'll be taking our Broadway show on the road next summer!"

The production, directed by Michael Mayer, is described as "an exhilarating, subversive one-man show guaranteed to take audiences on a ride through the United States of Insanity." The Terms of My Surrender, like Moore's films, features the wry, satirical humor of "one of America's iconic political observers and all-around-sh*t-disturbers, a fearless Midwesterner not interested in taking any prisoners."

The Terms of My Surrender featured set design David Rockwell, lighting design by Kevin Adams, sound design by Brian Ronan, costumes by Tony Award nominee Jeff Mahshie, video and projection designs by Andrew Lazarow, and movement direction by Noah Racey.
