Fergie's "Be Italian" number from hit movie musical Nine gets the gender-bending treatment as the opening for the 2015 Twisted Broadway charity concert.
The annual charity concert features internationally-acclaimed music theatre talent singing songs originally penned for the opposite gender in a one-off night of show-stopping, gender-bending entertainment.
Telling the story of Saraghina, an Italian prostitute and outcast, "Be Italian" will be flipped on its head and performed by a cast of strapping male gigolos with tambourines in-hand, led my Mike Snell (Wicked).
Having raised over $80,000 for those living with and touched by HIV/AIDS, in 2015 the evening's hosts
Kate Ceberano and Eddie Perfect will lead the gauntlet towards $100,000 mark.
