Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said his one-man Broadway show could go on the road despite negative reviews and low ticket sales.
The Wall Street Journal examined "The Terms of My Surrender" after its 13-week run on Broadway and concluded its anti-Trump message did not resonate.
The show took in $4.2 million in ticket sales, roughly 49 percent of what it could have earned if the show had sold out every night.
Moore told the Journal the show was "the most artistically gratifying experience of my life" and there are "talks happening about taking this show on the road."
A show spokesman confirmed to the Journal it might travel to San Francisco in early 2018.
It was reported in mid-September the show performed at 38 percent of its potential for the week ending Sept. 10, a number that continued to fall after a strong first week that saw it earn $456,000.
Many of the show's reviews were negative, with The New Yorker ripping Moore's inability to crack jokes like a late-night comedian.
"What's clear within minutes is that Moore doesn't have a late-night comedian's timing," Michael Schulman wrote in The New Yorker. "He punctuates his own jokes with nervous giggles, mumbles between lines, and, despite his baggy frame, has little sense of himself as a physical comedian. Bill Maher — another gadfly hampered by self-regard — does this kind of thing much better."
