Watch a Preview of The Flash and Supergirl’s “Duet” Musical Episode
By Buckie Wells
In Tuesday’s episode of The Flash, Barry Allen and Kara Danvers (Supergirl) sing their hearts out to a song written by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom.
Tonight on “Star-Crossed,” Supergirl meets Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo as they arrive on her Earth to reclaim the Prince of Daxam a.k.a. Mon-El, lousiest boyfriend ever. While that will be the main focus of the episode, the ending of Supergirl will see the arrival of the Music Meister (guest star Darren Criss). After his arrival, Mon-El will take Supergirl to The Flash’s Earth for his help.
Cue music!
Then, the two superheroes will join forces to defeat the Music Meister in The Flash‘s episode, “Duet,” on Tuesday night. As pointed out several times, Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist and Criss all starred on Glee together. But there will be several other characters making an appearance in the episode, most of which have theater backgrounds.
As part of a sneak peek of The Flash‘s episode, The CW released a short clip of one of their songs. Fortunately, it’s the one written by Rachel Bloom. “Superfriends” was written by Bloom, who immediately jumped on the project when she heard about it.
"“As soon as I heard that they were doing a musical crossover, I e-mailed [CW president] Mark Pedowitz who connected me to Greg [Berlanti] and Andrew [Kreisberg]. I immediately offered them my services. As soon as they picked one of my song ideas, I hopped on the phone with my old Robot Chicken boss Tom Root and … based on that brainstorm, I wrote up the song ‘Superfriends.’ I am so excited to contribute more to the upward trend that is musicals in television and film. Music can be one of the most amazing and efficient forms of storytelling and character development. Also, it was really fun to write a comedy song for two superheroes.”"
Sounds exciting, right? Check it out the clip below and just be happy that Kara looks like she’s having fun again.
