Funny or Die Presents “The Wire: The Musical”

Experience the war on drugs through the pageantry of musical theatre!

Funny or Die have enlisted several key players from The Wire including Michael K. Williams (Omar), Felicia Pearson (Snoop), Andre Royo (Bubbles), and Larry Gilliard Jr (D’Angelo Barksdale) for a tuneful retelling of the HBO crime series featuring way less homicide and way more B-More jazz hands. While the entire thing is worth watching the most hilarious parts are the hammy opening number by Omar (so jarring), Bubbles and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat and D’Angelo Barksdale explaining exactly why chess is a metaphor for drug dealing. Oh and Snoop in a dress, mang.

If you come at the king you best not be pitchy. Take it away Mr. Little.
