No official announcement about a Sunshine Boys revival has been made.
"Lewis and Clark were the kings of comedy," state earlier Sunshine Boys press notes, "too bad they can't stand one another! A staple on the Vaudeville circuit, they kept audiences in stitches for decades, making six appearances on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' Now estranged for decades, they agree (at the request of Willie Clark's long-suffering nephew Ben) to reunite for one last performance – but can they get through the sketch without killing one another?" The Sunshine Boys opened on Broadway on December 20, 1972, at the Broadhurst Theatre with Sam Levene and Jack Albertson as Al Lewis and Willie Clark. A 1997 revival co-starred Jack Klugman and Tony Randall.
