"The One Where They Sing Musical Theatre"

Make us preferred on Google

Television is considered by many to be a polar opposite of theatre—but that hardly means the two can't intermingle. In fact, seeing some of our favorite shows embodied by some of our most-prized television characters can make for some thrilling television.

Here are some of our favorite times the stage went to screen.


Schitt's Creek - Cabaret

The highly-anticipated season finale of Schitt's Creek will feature a production of Cabaret directed by none other than everyone's favorite diva, Moira Rose. People are so excited to see the Schitt's Creek interpretation of the show, they've already made a Playbill for it.

The Office - Sweeney Todd

From the beginning of the episode when a chorus enters Dunder Mifflin singing the opening to the actual mishaps in the performance, the season 7 episode features some of the show's highlights along with the hilarity of The Office. Sondheim and Scranton are a perfect match.

Big Little Lies - Avenue Q

Reese Witherspoon's character, Madeline, proves to be a stark advocate from her community theatre production of Avenue Q against community backlash. The snippets of the show seen in Big Little Lies even inspired this Portugese language production of the Avenue Q to make a promo.

The Simpsons - Guys & Dolls

This Star Wars themed iteration of the seminal music of Guys & Dolls took an interesting, comedic spin on a familiar story. Who wouldn't want to see Mark Hammil as Nathan Detroit?

Riverdale - Heathers and Carrie

One episode of Riverdale saw many of its characters in Riverdale High's production of the musical version of Heathers—a fitting backdrop to the high school drama. The show went the extra mile and released a tribute to Carrie: The Musical, another tale of high school carnage, as well.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff members are facing heavy criticism after they tried to move former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's nearly 100-year-old globe into Hegseth's office instead of waiting for professionals, and ended up breaking it.

The globe needed to be handled with care because it is a remarkably delicate artifact that dates back to the 1930s and was used by Eisenhower during World War II.

Texas Republicans have lashed out after receiving pamphlets for transgender teenagers about gender-affirming care even though the pamphlets' origins show that the call is very much coming from inside the house.

Although the pamphlets distributed at the start of Texas’s early voting period claim to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), a legitimate organization, the materials are fraudulent, the group has confirmed.

George Santos Just Threw His Hat In The Ring For White House Press Secretary—And The Reactions Are Priceless

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he threw his name in the mix to replace former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job.

Santos, whose political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief, has been soapboxing significantly since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence in October 2025.
