thisbluespiritI seem to have found myself going back to some old Arrowverse episodes/scenes for comfort lately, and since the collected DC shows included actual musical theatre legends and half of the Glee alumni and are usually pretty accessible, I'm collecting some faves here. Maybe they'll cheer someone else up too.
There's only one actual musical episode, which is a Supergirl/Flash crossover ep, where the Flash and the Supergirl get stuck in a dream musical that allowed them to bring in people from any of the other shows, and it's very sweet:
Opening ensemble:
More I Cannot Wish You, sung by Jesse L Martin, Victor Garber & John Barrowman:
Fun & sweet original duet/dance for Barry (Grant Gustin) and Karra (Melissa Benoist):
End song, another original - Barry proposes to Iris (back in the real world):
(There's a brief reprise of this as sung by Kara a year later, at Barry & Iris's wedding, before it gets interrupted by Nazis from an alternate Earth, because these are daft superhero shows.)
Talking of daft superhero shows, Legends of Tomorrow's committment to finding as many ways as possible to fit in or save the world by music & song was amazing, and I miss it. Important context: LoT is a time-travelling series.
At 1960s NASA, they ask Professor Stein (Victor Garber) to create a diversion:
Young!Ray making a lost alien watch Singin' in the Rain has unexpected consequences:
My favourite, and the nearest the Legends came to an actual musical ep, despite all the songs that turned up over the years, Zari (Tala Ashe)'s Bollywood number from s4:
Not music, but as a bonus, Tala Ashe & Matt Ryan winding up taking part in the original performance of Romeo & Juliet to put history right.
