That same day, the production will also welcome internet gossip columnist Perez Hilton, who will play a four-week engagement with an official opening set for Sept. 17.

With Hilton’s arrival, composer-lyricist Crom, according to press notes, "will add new satirical spoofs to the show including a Chick-fil-A number and a song about the phenomenon of Perez Hilton that will be performed by the man himself."

"Dreams do come true, if you believe. And I BELIEVE, big time!," said Hilton in a previous statement on his official website. "I am beyond thrilled, nervous and zen about making my New York theater debut. It's gonna be a wild ride in a show that guarantees to put smiles on people's faces. It will be no holds barred! Pure unadulterated fun! I expect to have the time of my life and look forward to hugging happy theatergoers after each show!"

The cast currently features Christine Pedi, Christina Bianco, Michael West, Tommy Walker, Amy Griffin and Ryan Knowles.

Rounding out the creative team are Ed Goldschneider (music director), Jason Courson (set designer), Josh Starr (lighting designer) and Scott Delacruz (stage manager).

Newsical the Musical is produced by Tom D’Angora.
