As Long As We Both Shall Laugh

After two decades, Yakov Smirnoff has announced that 2012 will be his last full season at his Branson theatre, and that he will take his one-man, highly acclaimed Broadway show, Happily Ever Laughter, on tour around the United States beginning in 2013. The New York Times said "His Broadway show is splendidly funny, sometimes poignant, the bearded, boyish Mr. Smirnoff, whose career has taken him to films, television, the White House and ownership of a 2000-seat theater bearing his name in Branson, Mo., remains a generous display of warmhearted, high-quality humor."
