"The One Where They Sing Musical Theatre"

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 SimpsonsGuys & 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.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
