For the third year in a row, RIVERDALE is putting on a musical episode. This year, the series is taking on HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH.

“Musical episodes have become a yearly tradition on RIVERDALE, but this year, we wanted to try something different,” said creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa in a statement. “When we heard that Stephen Trask was a fan of RIVERDALE, we thought—is there a way we can do HEDWIG and still have it tie into the stories we’re telling? Doing a deep dive, we figured out a cool way to use classic songs like ‘Wicked Little Town’ and ‘Midnight Radio’ that made total sense and are just amazing and iconic. And bonus, HEDWIG is literally Cole [Sprouse]’s favorite musical!”



Here’s the official episode description: “After the previous debacles of “Carrie” and “Heathers,” Kevin Keller has decided to revive Riverdale High’s tradition of hosting a Variety Show! But when Mr. Honey forbids him from performing a number from “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Kevin and our gang rallies against their principal—by each performing a number from “Hedwig,” turning the Variety Show into a full-fledged musical that, as always, reflects our characters’ inner lives and struggles. And amidst all the drama, one forbidden “showmance” begins to blossom…”

The episode is set to air Wednesday, April 8.

RIVERDALE, Wednesdays, 8/7c, The CW
