“The Wire: The Musical”

Funny or Die’s The Wire: The Musical (starring actual castmembers of The Wire, including Michael Kenneth Williams, who played “Omar” in the series) does a stunning job of pointing out how cliche-ridden the musical format has become and how the typical musical works so poorly for modern urban settings. If you sat through Rent and couldn’t wait for it to be over (its heart was in the right place, but song and story-wise, its head was up its own ass), this one’s for you.
