Watch This: Prop 8 -- The Musical
Published 12/3/2008 by Erik Davis at Cinematical
For those of you who spend a great deal of time roaming the halls of indie hipster-ville, you may have noticed that the brief window of empty space prior to awards nominations has been filled with a whole bunch of Prop 8 speech. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, since it's an important issue in this country and the very influential "indie community" can help provide a large voice of support against Prop 8. If that's your thing. However, now that awards season is beginning to heat up, Prop 8. is being replaced by "So who got which screener today?", and it's slowly becoming "that thing we got really upset about in November." Hold on! ...

Finally: The Star-Studded Anti-Prop 8 Musical We've All Been Waiting For [Gays]
Published 12/3/2008 by Seth at Defamer
History has show us that, when faced with adversity, less-fabulous civilizations' first response is force; more fully evolved, showtune-revering peoples, meanwhile, respond by PUTTING ON A MUSICAL!!! And so it goes with the ongoing battle for gay marriage acceptance in California, with Hairspray and South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut composer Marc Shaiman, in association with The Sacramento Community College Players, mounting Prop 8 - The Musical. It might be an exercise in literal choir-preaching written "six weeks later than he shoulda," but that doesn't make it any less of a heartwarming experience—at moments capable ...

The Telefile - Neil Patrick Harris Singing About Prop 8 = Awesome
Published 12/3/2008 at The Telefile
It starts out at Sacramento Community College, where they are staging Prop 8 -- The Musical . It features a brightly colored group of gay rights-friendly people (including Maya Rudolph, Margaret Cho and Andy Richter) gleefully warbling about how excited they are about Obama and change. And then there's a group of religious folks (including John C. Reilly, Allison Janney, Craig Robinson, Lake Bell, Sarah Chalke, Rashida Jones and Kathy Najimy) clad in dark clothes who come in to put a damper on all the fun. Until Jesus (played by a shrimp cocktail-eating Jack Black, of course) steps in and tries to broker some peace. It doesn't work. So it all comes down to Neil Patrick ...

Merrick here... On November 4, in what is almosty certainly the most shameful element of the election, Proposition 8 was passed in California - essentially amending the state's Constitution to restrict marriage between same sex couples.

Prop 8 - The Musical Features A Star Studded Cast
Published 12/5/2008 by gossipmonkey at Backseat Cuddler
You’ve probably already seen the FunnyorDie video “Prop 8 - The Musical.”  Even if you have, it’s worth another look.   Written by Marc Shaiman ( Hairspray ), the video takes on last month’s successful ballot proposition that outlawed same-sex marriage in California. The cast is impressive, but Shaiman admits it was a bit random.“We filmed it on a Monday. If you couldn’t be there on Monday from 11-4, you couldn’t be in it,” Shaiman explained. “If we’d done it on Tuesday, it might have had a completely different cast.” The end result was this pretty amazing ensemble cast: California Gays and The People That Love Them: Jordan Ballard , Margaret Cho , ...
