Prop 8—The Musical, a new music video satirizing Prop 8 — the California ballot proposition that amended the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman — is now available for on-line viewing.

Conceived and written by Hairspray Tony winner Marc Shaiman, the three-minute video was directed and staged by Adam Shankman, who helmed the "Hairspray" movie musical.

The video also boasts an array of theatre and stage stars: The "California Gays and The People That Love Them" are played by Jordan Ballard, Margaret Cho, Barrett Foa, J.B. Ghuman, John Hill, Andy Richter, Maya Rudolph, Rashad Naylor and Nicole Parker.

The "Proposition 8'ers and The People That Follow Them" include John C. Reilly as Prop 8 Leader; Allison Janney as Prop 8 Leader's #1 Wife; Kathy Najimy as Prop 8 Leader's #2 Wife; Jenifer Lewis as Riffing Prop 8'er; Craig Robinson as A Preacher; and Rashida Jones, Lake Bell and Sarah Chalke as Scary Catholic School Girls From Hell.

Jack Black plays Jesus Christ and Neil Patrick Harris is a Very Smart Fellow with Katharine "Kooks" Leonard, Seth Morris, Denise "Esi!" Piane, Lucian Piane, Richard Read, Seth Redford, Quinton Strack and Tate Taylor as The Frightened Villagers.

Shankman, Shaiman (who is featured on piano) and Mike Farah produced the video, which was edited by Bradly Schulz and Drew Antzis.

Neil Patrick Harris is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! Dr. Horrible was genius, too.

If the humor of Tina Fey could help shoot down the candidacy of Palin, then hopefully the humor of this wonderful video will successfully convey the importance of supporting human rights and keeping religion out of of Constitution.

And Jack Black as Jesus: :rofl:

lol!

Great job. :D

:thumbsup:

I hope Prop 8 does get repealed soon. :hug:


And ditto on Neal Patrick Harris. I knew watching Doogie Howser so long ago wasn't a wasted activity.

We haven't had enough fun lately.

:thumbsup:

And if you're going to pick and choose- pick the right way.
