A musical based on the sex scandal that turned Bill Clinton into the first elected president ever impeached is set to debut next month on Broadway.
"American Idol" veteran Frenchie Davis will play the role of Clinton's White House secretary Betty Currie in "Monica! The Musical!" - which premieres Sept. 21 as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival.
Actress Christine DiGiallonardo plays the thong-snapping intern, with actor Duke LaFoon potraying Bill Clinton in all his cigar-savoring glory.
"Monica! The Musical!" reportedly has its own "toetapping" signature song - "Blue Dress."
Other characters featured in the Clinton Sexgate extravaganza include Vernon Jordan, Janet Reno, Ken Starr, George Stephanopoulos and of course - Hillary Clinton.
Producers have invited the real Monica Lewinsky to attend the opening.
No word yet whether Hillary Clinton is planning to see the show.
I thought for SURE this was a "scrappleface" post...

x42 would probably go, but not be able to leave the hat-check girl alone.
Who's playing the role of Osama, preparing for 9-11 while the President is busy in the windowless corridor of the Oval Office?
It's a shame that Rondo Hatton isn't around anymore to play the part of Janet Reno.
And who will play Vince Foster?
Who plays Yassar Arafat on the phone to Bubba in a crucial scene but then -- on hold while Bubba gave his full attention to the pizza gal.
oh, great! we didn't get enough of the bill and monica soap opera the first time...
"Debil wid de blue dress, blue dress on
She's de debil wid de blue dress on
(Lode hab muh-sey!)"
So why isn't this being made into a Hollywood blockbuster?
Norman Fell as Yassar Arafat would have been funny, alas, too late for him.
Is it only going to be about sex or will they include the Arkansas years, Barry Seal, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Mary Mahoney, Ed Willey,James Wilson, Charlie Trie, Okla city, Waco, TWA 800...?
He'll take that as a HUGH compliment without shame! He'll probably be the first one in line to see the grand opening of his legacy on stage! LOL!
Give Slick a break. He was just giving Monica a tonsil twizzle.
Well, I guess Jerry Parks can't. (or was that Gary?)
