Dare to Be Stupid: The Weird Al Musical, featuring the songs of the legendary “Weird Al” Yankovic, is in the works.
The musical will have an original story by Scott Brown and Anthony King, the writers of Gutenberg the Musical and Beetlejuice, with direction by Alex Timbers.
The accordion-playing, long-haired musical parodist is behind songs like “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “White & Nerdy,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Gump,” “My Bologna,” and tons of others. He is a five-time Grammy winner for his music.
Further details will be announced at a later date.

Oh my god my 13 year old self is SCREAMING!
The smart way to do this is to make it a parody of the typical self-produced jukebox bio musical, but also actually his life story. His movie “Weird” did this about the classic Oscar-bait bio film, even starring Daniel Radcliffe. And it worked really well.

This could honestly be a cult hit - and if they get him aboard, Radcliffe’s second musical Tony.
