Just last night, La Toya Jackson joined the cast of off Broadway's smash comedy, NEWSical The Musical for one week only. NEWSical The Musical is the forever changing, completely un-sanitized musical mockery of all the news that's fit to spoof. From Honey Boo Boo to Paula Deen, Andrew Weiner to A-Rod, marriage equality to Kim and Kanye's baby North West, NEWSical The Musical sets all of today's biggest pop culture headlines to song. NEWSical The Musical plays daily (except Thursdays) at Theatre Row on 42nd Street. BroadwayWorld was there for her opening night and you can check out photo coverage below!
La Toya Jackson is the latest star to grace the NEWSical The Musical stage. Previously, celebrity gossip guru Perez Hilton joined the show for a limited run, as did Broadway's original Annie, Andrea McArdle, Saturday Night Live's Cheri Oteri, and Carson Kressley. Miss Jackson will follow Emmy Award Winning television star Jackée who is set to take the NEWSical stage on August 23rd.
NEWSical The Musical is directed by Mark Waldrop (When Pigs Fly, My Deah, Inventing Avi, Papermill Playhouse's Gypsy) and produced by Tom D'Angora (Naked Boys Singing!, ICONS, Broadway Diva Christmas, Divas I've Done). Rounding out the creative team are Ed Goldschneider (music director), Jason Courson (set designer), and Krystal Roccaro (stage manager).
