by David Davila (musical theatre writer)
You may have seen the advertisements for this new sitcom all over town, but what the posters and print ads don't tell you is that CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND is actually a musical.
WHHAAAAAAHHH????
YAHS. In fact, this sitcom created by internet musical comedy sensation, Rachel Bloom stars some of Broadway's biggest talent including:
Santino Fontana (Cinderella, Billy Elliot) as her new suitor...
Gabrielle Ruiz (If/Then, In The Heights) as her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend...
Vince Rodriguez (Anything Goes, Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) as the one that got away.
and Donna Lynne Chapman (Sweeney Todd, By Jeeves) as her crazy new co-worker.
Check out the trailer after the jump and tune in on CW or online to make sure this new musical makes it to season 2!!!!
Is anyone else as excited as me to get a new musical on television. I mean, this one actually looks awesome!
Tune in to CW on Monday October 12th for the premiere or watch later on cwtv.com!!!! Maybe we should make this a live tweet thing????!!!!???
Anyway, I can't wait for this show!
