Michael C. Hall Is the Star of ‘Skittles Commercial: The Musical’ | Eater

"A one-night-only, 30-minute musical staged at a Times Square theater and presented as a meta advertisement for Skittles, starring Michael C. Hall. The piece—written by Will Eno with songs by Drew Gasparaini—was promoted via a surreal commercial in which Hall explains that the spot won’t run during the Super Bowl but will instead be performed live for ticket buyers; the ad itself includes a therapist scene and a scarecrow representing Hall’s anxieties. Remaining tickets are priced at $207 each, proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and organizers may also run footage of the live event during the big game." - Greg Morabito
