Broadway producer Jordan Roth is schooling us with another episode of his mostly-animated The Birds and the BS, the kids show for adults that routinely features some of Broadways biggest voices.
This time around: Alan Cumming. The subject: The American Dream.
The cartoon Cumming stops by the show to refute Roths suggestion that the American Dream has “shriveled up like a xenophobic raisin in the sun.”
Not so, counters the former Cabaret emcee. These days, you dont even “have to know how to do it to do it.”
Do what exactly?
“The honcho at the EPA treats oceans like a big bidet,” sings Cumming, and “The head of education wants public schools elimination.”
And this: “Wife abusers and child molesters we are happy to adore/Well give you an Oscar or a vote if youre Roy Moore.”
Check out the funny video above, with script and lyrics by Roth, John Walton West, Simon Pearl and Cody Williams, and the songs music by Jonathan Brenner.
