“I’m really excited to announce… it’s really exciting for me, I’m going to be playing Bob Saget, basically, in a musical!” the celebrity blogger explained. “There’s a new musical based on Full House called Full House: The Musical!… we’re starting in Toronto in late August and coming to New York City in September.”
The National Lampoon production will replace the Saved by the Bell parody, Bayside! The Musical!, at the Lower Manhattan Playhouse, according to Us Weekly. Alongside Hilton, Bayside! alums like Seth Blum and Amanda Nichols will be taking on the roles of Joey and D.J. Tanner, respectively.

The news of Hilton’s addition came as a surprise to many who didn’t realize he could sing.
“Yeah, I’m singing in it… I’ve been working with this amazing vocal coach named Liz Caplan for a few years,” Hilton explained. “It’s going to be off-Broadway in New York City at a theater on St. Mark’s Place. In Toronto, we’re playing a big theater, 500 seats!”
