On the 10th anniversary of “The Wire,” actors traded the series’ familiar grim tone for one of hilarity. “The Wire: The Musical” debuted Tuesday as a Web video for the site Funny Or Die. In the video, the cast of the Baltimore-based HBO drama reprises their roles in a mock song-and-dance adaptation of the popular series about drug-related violence. The online sketch is framed as a four-minute commercial for the show. “Wire” actors who are featured in the musical include Michael Kenneth Williams, Sonja “Kima” Sohn, Andre “Bubbles” Royo, Felicia “Snoop” Pearson and Larry “D’Angelo” Gillard Jr.
