Well, not quite for the kids. Perhaps this would work as a sort of ‘Schoolhouse Rock’ for the 21st Century Gen-Xers.

I like Jack Black as Jesus Christ (JB as JC) and the brief, clever way the musical gets in a dig on black Obama supporters in California who voted in favor of Prop. 8 (‘Obamination’) without coming across as totally insensitive. But for my money, it doesn’t get any better than Doogie Houser crooning about the boost to the economy legalized gay marriage would provide, an argument that ends up winning over the pro-8 crowd.

Anyway, enjoy:
