Yupp, unfortunately Efron said he will NOT be doing the role:

Efron himself had made the initial comment about it, so many thought it was true. Perhaps he was making fun of Radcliffe, I'm not sure!

Hi all!

I just found this info:

Funnyman Will Ferrell is to tread the boards on Broadway - he'll make his New York stage debut impersonating the U.S. President in comedy you're Welcome America - A Final Night With George W. Bush.

The star will team up with producer Adam McKay, his Anchorman and Step Brothers collaborator, for the solo show. The comedy duo, who founded website FunnyOrDie.com, is also expected to pen the script.

Ferrell's various impersonations of Bush have been big hits on the internet, garnering more than 5.5 million hits on video sharing website YouTube.com.

You're Welcome America - A Final Night With George W. Bush will start previews at the Cort Theatre on 20 January.

I'm hoping it's true and that Will will be in it - I'd love to write to him and via Broadway seems the easiest via venue type to get autographs!

Regards,
zanne

Is Megan Mullally still in Young Frankenstein? I don't see her name.

[TheScarletPimpernel]

No, Megan left August 3 or August 17. Can't remember exactly, but she is no longer a part of the show.
