In real life, they actually did.

“It was so surreal that it doesn’t even seem real,” Logan Henderson told the Daily News a day after more than 2,500 fans crammed the streets of New York’s crossroads to see he and his co-stars perform live.

“What we filmed was a dream sequence [for the episode], which is ironic because it was a real dream for us,” said Henderson.

“Big Time Rush,” which airs Fridays at 8 on Nickelodeon, features Henderson, Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow and Carlos Pena as best friends and bandmates in the up-and-coming group Big Time Rush.

The show’s premiere was the highest-rated live-action series premiere in the network’s history, with 6.8 million viewers. And these guys don’t just play a singing group on TV, they are one. Their first album, “B.T.R.,” will drop on Oct. 11, and their music video for “City Is Ours” is No. 6 on iTunes.

The dark lord of the Sith becomes the duck lord of The Peabody when esteemed actor James Earl Jones — famous for providing the voice of Darth Vader — comes to Memphis to act in “Master’s Tree,” a Christmas story inspired by the Mississippi-based Palmer Home for Children that begins shooting here April 19.

The film’s star is rising teen sensation James Maslow, a 19-year-old acting-and-singing heartthrob known for his role in the current Nickelodeon series “Big Time Rush.”

To be directed by David Mickey Evans (“The Sandlot”), “Master’s Tree” is the story of several parentless children, led by Maslow, who leave the Palmer Home campus in Mississippi for a comic and dramatic adventure that takes them to Memphis at Christmastime, where they come under the wing of The Peabody duckmaster, played by Jones (who acted in the Memphis-made “A Family Thing” in 1996).

The runaways are inspired by noble motives: They leave the Palmer Home to make way for three motherless children, who arrive at the home needing a place to stay.

THE ZAC TRACK: Nickelodeon’s newest star, James Maslow from “Big Time Rush,” is already being likened to Disney darling Zac Efron — and Maslow tells us it certainly could be worse. “I think that’s a pretty cool comparison. He’s worked very, very hard to be where he is,” notes Maslow. “I’ve yet to meet him. I think at this point, I deserve to meet him. I’ve been compared to him a lot,” he adds with a laugh. “I’ve heard great things about him both personally and professionally so I think it’s cool if people see me getting to his level. If in a year or two, if I’m still getting that, I might get annoyed. I hope, eventually, I’ll establish my own name.”

So far, fans are tuning in steadily to the show about four best friends who unexpectedly fall into pop stardom. The role is a dream come true for the young star, who has been singing since he was 6. “We’ve all become really, really close very quickly. I think it’s a unique relationship that we bring to music because we all have very different styles and voices. We can listen to it and pick out each voice very distinctly, and they seem to really complement each other in a very cool way.”

The guys, who record their own music for the show, are even contemplating going on tour during hiatus. “Right now’s nothing’s official as to when we’re going to go and where we’re going to go. It wouldn’t be until the summer because we’re filming. Until then, we’re going to keep releasing singles. At the end of the season, we’ll have our album so if we can tour as well, it will just be icing on the cake because I’ve always wanted to do that.”
