The Best Part of Waking Up Is John Barrowman Singing Showtunes About Doctor Who
It’s still a bit early, so my tiny brain can’t really parse the madness of Torchwood‘s John Barrowman singing a Doctor Who-themed version of “The Wizard and I” from the musical Wicked, but… well, here it is. I kind of wish it had a real music video of Barrowman dancing, though, and not just a still image. I would have been forced to skip making coffee and gone straight to the breakfast whiskey, but that’s a small price to pay to see Captain Jack gettin’ down. (Via The Mary Sue)
