Will Ferrell’s You’re Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush opened on Thursday night on Broadway’s Cort Theater. Click here to read the New York Times review.

During the arrivals, Lucy Liu and Brooke Shields ran away from the cameras and into the theatre as if they were running from sniper fire on a tarmac in Bosnia.

I took “Ferrell/Dubya” (left) during the curtain call which, btw, couldn’t have lasted much longer than a couple of minutes.

I’m so lucky to live in New York City. Where else in the world can you meet Patti LuPone & Will Ferrell in the same week? Here are some images that I captured of Patti (and Boyd Gaines and Laura Benanti) at Tony’s DiNapoli’s recent Broadway Wall of Fame portrait unveiling, and images of Will at a “meet the press” event for his new Broadway Show, You’re Welcome, America.
