The hip-hopper’s online “urban operetta” sensation hits the tube tonight. “Trapped in the Closet: The Movie” debuts on IFC Friday at 9 p.m., all 22 chapters compiled from earlier internet/DVD releases.
There’ll be a live chat at IFC.com during this “feature film” airing.
It’s followed tonight at 10:30 by “Trapped Inside the Realm of R. Kelly,” a sitdown interview at Kelly’s Chicago recording studio.
Kelly plays multiple roles [IFC photo above] in what Entertainment Weekly calls “a monumental pop culture achievement.” Chart the characters and sample the episodes online.
