Musical crossovers
MELISSA Benoist and Grant Gustin better work on their vocal exercises. There will be two musical crossover episodes later in the season on The CW shows Supergirl and Th e Flash .
Executive Producer Greg Berlanti announced the plans recently.
The idea makes sense because a number of the show’s cast members have musical backgrounds.
Benoist and Gustin had roles on Glee, while Jesse L. Martin of Th e Flash and Jeremy Jordan of Supergirl are Broadway vets.
Berlanti said he hopes to make the songs available for fans afterward.
VictorGarber, who is on a different DC Comics series, Legends Of Tomorrow, has also expressed interest in taking part.
“He was pitching me songs the other night at dinner,” said Berlanti, who said he wasn’t sure exactly who would be featured in the episodes.
He added that the music will be made up of mostly pre- existing songs but said: “We have been talking about trying to write at least one original song per episode.”
Exactly how the music will be explained wasn’t revealed but Berlanti said “we’ll be very careful about how we break into song” and said some of it could be “in the characters’ heads.”
Both Supergirl and Th e Flash return with new seasons in the United States in October. – AP
