Michael C. Hall will star in what may be the strangest Super Bowl commercial that’s not a Super Bowl commercial: The star will appear live in a one-performance-only half-hour Broadway musical for Skittles on the afternoon of the big game.
Skittles had previously announced its decision to stage a half-hour live musical event in lieu of a typical Super Bowl ad, with some proceeds going to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. And while the large ensemble cast had also been revealed, the identity of the star of the show was a mystery – until today.
So, is it real? Yes. Hall – whose stage credits include Cabaret and the David Bowie musical Lazarus – actually will perform in Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical at The Town Hall theater in Times Square on February 3 at 1 Pm. Ticket prices, via Ticketmaster, range from $30-$205.

Give a listen: “Rollerboy angels are skating / Glistening pectorals smooth / The beat and the pulse are creating / An anthem your soul for to soothe.”
Doesn’t it just make you want to jump over that velvet rope and claw your way inside, where all the beautiful people are getting drunk and stoned and having fun? No? Well, consider yourself saved, because the rest of this new musical is just as dumb as that dopey lyric.
In its heyday, the nightclub that Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell (played here by a crazed-looking Theo Stockman) built into the honeypot known as Studio 54 was,...
