Academy Award winning actor-comedian Robin Williams is returning to the road to resume his “Weapons of Self-Destruction” comedy tour after postponing several dates in March 2009 to undergo heart surgery. “Weapons” launched in September 2008 and played to rave reviews and sold out crowds. As the tour continues, Williams will unleash his “Weapons” on Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando and Washington DC, among many other cities. The announcement comes on the eve of the May 14, 200 World Premiere of Twentieth Century Fox Films’ “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” in which Williams reprises his role as ‘Teddy Roosevelt’. That film is set for release on May 22, 2009.
“This little break has given me more energy than ever,” said Williams. “Plus it’s wonderful to have a cow valve... If you don’t mind the grazing, it’s quite invigorating.”
A string of rescheduled dates has been announced, as well as some brand new shows. For fans that had purchased tickets to previously postponed shows, those tickets will be honored for the rescheduled engagements. However, those ticket holders must contact the venue’s box office for details.
Highlighting Williams’ trademark free associations and riffs on social and political absurdities, “Weapons of Self-Destruction” was being hailed by critics from across the globe before the hiatus:
“Robin Williams is still a master of comedy” --Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard
“Howlingly hilarious.” “His stand-up act is a potent, charming display of manic behavior.” --Melissa Ruggieri, Richmond Times-Dispatch
The rescheduled dates for the 2 postponed Seminole Hard Rock Live shows are: Wednesday October 21 and Thursday October 22, 2009.
