All of Broadway Is Closing, So These Actors Had a Lot of Time to Create This Reality Contest Spoof
And the Tony goes to ...
 

So … we're still figuring this out. There's something called Legally Brown: The Search For The Next Piragua Guy, which looks like a web-only spoof that's supposedly casting for a bit part of Broadway musical In The Heights. "Dozens of people" auditioned. It's a take off of MTV's reality show Legally Blonde: The Search for the Next Elle Woods, which crowned Bailey Hanks the winner, only to see her show get canceled.

From the videos we watched, well, it's sort of funny, mostly because its creators got actual Broadway stars involved, including the likes of Allison Janney (of new Dolly Parton show 9 To 5) and Cheyenne Jackson (he of the also-closing Xanadu), as well as Legally Blonde's judge Bernie Telsey to reprise his role. That, and you don't need to be a total theatre geek to get the jokes.

Below, the project's trailer, which reminds viewers that each of the contestants, who are on Broadway, have a chance to be on Broadway.
