Perez Hilton Will Play Danny Tanner In A 'Full House' Musical

Sorry Bob Saget, but Perez Hilton is taking over as Danny Tanner.

Saget may be reprising his “Full House” character in Netflix’s upcoming reboot, but Hilton will sing as the TV dad on stage. While visiting the “Howard Stern Show” on Tuesday, the celebrity blogger announced that he will be playing Danny Tanner in the upcoming “Full House: The Musical Parody.” The new musical is a National Lampoon production, the company behind “Bayside! The Musical!”, a similar song-and-dance tribute to “Saved by the Bell.”

The musical cast will include “Bayside!” alums Seth Blum as Uncle Joey, John Duff as Uncle Jesse and Amanda Nichols as D.J. Tanner, as well as Marguerite Halcovage as Stephanie Tanner and Marshall Louise as Michelle Tanner. The musical will debut in Toronto on Aug. 18 before it makes its way off-Broadway in New York City on Sept. 7.
