Proposition 8: Now In Musical Form!

By Lilit Marcus / December 4, 2008

Most of the reactions to the passage of Proposition 8 in California have been marked, understandably, by outrage and scorn. However, a group of celebrities decided they would use humor as their tool for activism. In this hilarious video, stars like Allison Janney (who will always be C.J. Cregg to me), John C. Reilly, Margaret Cho, Sarah Chalke, Maya Rudolph, and Rashida Jones band together for "Proposition 8: The Musical." Jack Black has a special cameo as Jesus, and Neil Patrick Harris, whose voice is still in prime condition after "Dr. Horrible," shows up to bring it home.

    Brilliantly done piece.  True on so many levels.  I’m from that “real America” part of the country and I only wish we had performed musicals like this in my high school!
