“Gay marriages will save the economy!” A star studded cast…Margaret Cho, Neal Patrick Harris, Kathy Najimy, John Reilly, Jack Black, etc. Written by Marc Shaiman (who scored Hairspray). It also came about when Mr. Shaiman, alerted his friends and colleagues that Scott Eckern, the musical director of Sacramento’s California Musical Theater, had donated money to a Yes-on-Prop 8 campaign. Shaiman told Eckern that he would no longer allow his musicals to be performed at the theatre. Eckern subsequently resigned.
