Frankie Grande is the latest star to drop a video for Broadway composer Andrew Lippa’s “Tiger King: The Musical (A Parody!)” — after Kristen Chenoweth crooned a tune as “Tiger King” animal activist Carole Baskin. And Page Six has learned that “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Nina West is next.
In a new video for Lippa’s tune, “Husband Number 2,” Ariana Grande’s brother sings as Joe Exotic’s late lover, Travis Maldonado, and the song features lyrics such as: “They called you Joe/The boss, the man, the cat’s big cheese/How could we know/So soon you’d get down on your knees?” The video shows Grande-as-Maldonado becoming entranced with Exotic, before spiraling out of control.
Chenoweth sang a Lippa composition called, “Little Pieces” in a video — and sources exclusively tell us that the song’s about to be re-released with drag world superstar West as Baskin.
When asked if Lippa was working on a full-length musical based on “Tiger King,” his rep quipped: “If these stay-at-home orders keep going long enough, it might become an opera!”
Lippa’s been behind Broadway shows including “The Addams Family” and “Big Fish.”
