Yes, the impact of LA LA LAND can be seen in this musical episode of The Flash (Grant Gustin). This is one of those “cross-over” episodes with Supergirl (Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers). The episode features a musical crossover with Supergirl and reunites Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist with their former Glee co-star Darren Criss, who portrays the Music Meister, the Villain of the Week. The story will begin at the end of the Supergirl episode “Star-Crossed” on March 20, 2017, which sees Kara being comatose by Music Meister and Mon-El and J’onn J’onzz / Martian Manhunter bringing her to Earth-1 in hope that Team Flash can save her. Trust me, you don’t have to know the backstory to enjoy the dancing and the music in this episode.
Benji Pasek and Justin Paul, winners of the Academy Award for Best Original Song for providing the lyrics for “City of Stars” in LA LA LAND, wrote another original song, titled “Runnin’ Home to You”, which will be performed by Gustin in this episode. If you’re a fan of singing and dancing, this episode of The Flash should be a fun experience!
This sounds like a great idea (loved LA LA LAND, don;t really understand the backlash frankly). My nieces are just getting into SUPERGIRL and ARROW …
Sergio, your nieces have excellent taste if they like SUPERGIRL and ARROW. THE FLASH is produced by the same company that produces SUPERGIRL and ARROW and LEGIONS OF TOMORROW.
I stuck with THE FLASH for several seasons but finally got bored. I stuck with ARROW for a bit longer but just lost interest in it last season. This ep sounds like fun, though.
Bill, the “crossover” episodes are always entertaining! There should be a lot of singing and dancing with Supergirl and The Flash showing off their GLEE moves!
Enjoy MY CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND but not sure I have the background for this one.
Patti, Rachel Bloom of MY CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND wrote one of the songs in tonight’s episode of THE FLASH. I think Supergirl sings it.
We watched SUPERGIRL last night and I kept asking where The Flash was. It was literally the last scene. He’s been on it before. We’ll be watching tonight. It’s not like there is a lot on.
Jeff, this episode of THE FLASH will seem like a GLEE reunion!
i’ll be wtching
Scott, I wish the DC TV series did more crossovers. They’re fun!
So bad. The music is fun, but the script?
Oy vey.
Jeff, I suspect DC needs to upgrade their scriptwriters! We liked the music, too!
Ive seen it
Cecilia, hope you liked it!
