You can’t see “The Lion King” on Broadway right now, but you can indulge your inner mullet with “Tiger King: The Musical.”

Composer Andrew Lippa (“Big Fish,” “The Addams Family”) and Kristin Chenoweth (“Wicked,” “Glee”) dropped the first song from their new show — a parody of the hit Netflix documentary series about Joe Exotic — on Friday. The tune is called “Little Pieces,” and fans of “Tiger King” can surely guess what its title is referring to.

Lippa’s “Cats”-with-attempted-murder idea came about after he watched all seven bombshell episodes in two marathon sittings.

Captivated, he raced to Twitter on March 28 and wrote, “I’m making the musical of ‘Tiger King’. Don’t try to stop me. Don’t tell me you have the rights. You don’t. I will crush it.” He was joking.

But his tweet got over 2,000 likes, and Lippa continued to furball, er, spitball thoughts in more than 100 energetic tweets. Kurt Deutsch of Ghostlight Records took notice.

“Are you serious? Do you really want to make a musical?” he asked Lippa during a call, the composer tells The Post. But rather than put together a traditional show, Lippa thought it would be more fun to bring different artists together — about 42 in all — to write and create original songs about the big cat-owning eccentrics. They’ll be released on a randomized schedule over the next several weeks.

“Little Pieces” stars Chenoweth as Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin.

Lippa knew the funny soprano had to play the controversial cat lady, so he called her up — with a tiger’s appetite — to make his pitch.

“She sings about feeding the tiger little pieces,” he says. “Then she sings about how her heart is broken in little pieces and then she realizes she’s gotta chop up her husband into little pieces in order to get rid of the evidence.”

“Oh my God,” Chenoweth replied, recalls Lippa. “I gotta do this.”

In real life, the case of the 1997 disappearance of Baskin’s then-husband, Don Lewis, remains unsolved.

“Little Pieces,” with a sound like one of the documentary’s many surreal soft-rock music videos, takes us into Baskin’s feeding routine, with a sprinkling of “Little Shop of Horrors.” Like the cannibalism duet “A Little Priest” from “Sweeney Todd,” it would be the Act One finale.

“Hey, all you cool cats and kittens,” begins Chenoweth. “It’s Carole. And I’ve got something for you.”

“Little pieces! Little pieces!,” she sings. “That’s the way to feed ’em right. Cut the meat in little pieces, and you’ll see!”

She adds of her former hubby: “One of us is headin’ to the garbage heap. One of us is gonna be set free. One of us is gettin’ chopped up in their sleep. And it sure as hell ain’t me!”

The song was recorded remotely, and Chenoweth filmed a music video on her iPhone. Don’t worry, the “little pieces” there are chicken, not human.

Lippa says the plan is for two music videos to be released next week, including “Little Pieces,” and two more the following week, with more to come later. There could even be a televised future.

“I’ve already had a producer friend from Hollywood call me and say, ‘Hey, I think Netflix would want to partner with you on this!,’ ” Lippa says.
