One of the most extraordinary comedians of our time, Will Ferrell, plays former President George W. Bush in his new Broadway play. "You'are Welcome America: A Final Night With George Bush" is currently playing at the New York Cort's Theatre.
But what do the critics say? Well, they are divided. Some praise Ferrell's impersonation, whereas others criticise it. But what exactly the impersonation is about? As the comedian puts it, he appears as Bush in front of the audience to talk about his time, "to celebrate my eight years of service to you."
According to BBC USA Today critic called Mr Ferrell's 90-minute monologue "a witless, pointless spectacle" whereas other critics from The Washington Post or the New York Times said Will's performance had had a "gleeful, adolescent spirit".
Ferrell brother, Patrick, also appears in the show portraying a Secret Agent who break-dances, and a Condoleezza Rice impersonation is also given to the audience in the form a tap-dancing.
