South Park classic number ‘Kyle’s Mom’s A Bitch’ has been re-recorded with a group of Broadway stars and a 30-piece orchestra to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary – you can watch the performance below.Arranged by Broadway veteran Stephen Oremus, the new rendition premiered today (January 26) and features singers Nikki Renee Daniels, Tamar Greene, Jeff Kready and Elizabeth Stanley.

The clip also depicts the show’s four children enjoying the song – with the obvious exception of Kyle.“I was thrilled to get to reimagine these South Park classics in a more traditional orchestral concert setting,” Oremus told The Hollywood Reporter. “It was so much fun getting to blow them up and give them such proper classical renditions.“I called some of the best musicians and singers I knew – friends and colleagues who I have worked with on Broadway and TV, and we got to make music and dress up and laugh our asses off for a few days.”It’s not the only South Park song to get the Broadway treatment, with the song’s theme show and the Kanye-teasing ‘Gay Fish’ among the tracks also receiving an update.‘Kyle’s Mom’, sang by Eric Cartman about Sheila Broflovski, initially appeared in the first-season episode ‘Mr.

Hankey, The Christmas Poo’. A new version of the song made an appearance in the feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut.

There is also an instrumental version in the video game South Park: The Fractured But Whole.“We worked with Stephen on The Book Of Mormon. [Parker and Stone] completely trust him with their work,” South Park executive producer Anne Garefino explained. “For the 25th season, we thought it would be fun to celebrate the music of South Park.
