Everyone who is mad I didn’t know these actors are probably new here... I’m sorry honey bees. I learn on the job. 😅 I don’t research before I film.
could I? Yes. Will I?
…No 🥸
Can you do the Lucifer musical episode?
Running home to you is an OG song 👍
Really surprised you didn't recognize Jesse L. Martin (he plays Joe West). Martin was in Rent.
You should do buffy the vampire slayer musical episode
Do yourself a favour. Watch the movie Rent! Jesse Martin as Tom Collins is one of the most wonderful singers. Truly worth watching. As a singer interested in Musical Theatre it is a must see.
When you realize you've accidentally cast your entire superhero universe with musical theatre icons already so you can do a musical episode without having to pay for vocal coaches.
yup
😂😂 yeah they must’ve been like oooohh shittt
The funny thing is they asked and they said yes
😂😂
Honestly, I was waiting for this episode from the moment I knew Barrowman was involved with the Arrowverse, but every new addition to the cast was like an added promise that the musical episode was coming. I'm still sad they didn't utilize everyone they could have though
The fact that Darren, Melissa and Grant were all in Glee and are in this multiverse episode together is my favourite thing.
that i love it
the way Naya was doing a voice in a Batman animated film.. seems like everyone in Glee is destined to work for Marvel/DC someday
And the guy who played Dave Karofski was in flash.
it's a gleeunion!
@@nativenewyorker3144 I just watched that episode a few weeks ago lol it made me so happy!
"Running Home to You" is a running theme between Iris and Flash. The song was perfect for the moment. One of the best proposal scenes on TV. I think they did the entire musical episode just to have a reason to have Barry sing to Iris and propose.
Too bad the incest kind of ruins it 😐
@@TheMaestro1275 incest? Barrys dad went to prison and his mom died so joe took barry in. Iris and Barry are not related at all lmao. Maybe you should do the research or watch the show without making claims you have no clue about.
@@bonkey12 I know that they're not related, and I have watched most of the show (I stopped at around season 5-6), but for some reason it's always made me uncomfortable how the love of siblings "blooms" (I can't think of a better word rn) into romantic love. It also made me uncomfortable how jealous Barry got in the earlier seasons whenever iris got with someone else although it's none of his damn business.
I don't know, It's just a personal gripe of mines.
@@TheMaestro1275 they were best friends who were LIKE siblings, they never said "she's my sister" or "he's my brother" The fact is they were raised from the age of 10 onwards so realistically for 8 years and he was in love with her before her dad adopted him
Jesus loves you
Grant does actually know how to tap dance. He started taking lessons when he was a child. There’s actually a great video of him dancing to Good Morning from Singing in the Rain which really shows off his talent.
yes he tap dances in glee!
Hannah's total lack of awareness of how 90% of the cast are actual professional singers and dancers and thats why they did a musical episode in the first place, is so endeering :')
They did have to comb through four Arrowverse shows for this cast
I concur! 😂❤️ She is the cutest.
she literally mentions that in the video lmao
@@leewinstead917 no these are all main cast
@@phshgaming5281 Not of Flash was what I meant
Yeah the arrowverse with this episode was like “look we just so happened to hire all of these Broadway actors to play our superhero it would be a shame to not do something with that”
Truly
It's a Broadway talent showcase mixed up with a Glee reunion, since the main characters and villain were on Glee
It really woulda been a shame. I wish they let both of them sing a lot more in each of their shows. Like, please, gimme more!
And even a lot of the actors not in this episode have some sort of musical theatre experienxe
@@lukemccord2690 really? Like who? Aside from passing characters that were only seen a few times
Fun fact: Carlos (guy with long hair) and Darren went to college together! For Starkid fans, Carlos was in the original band in AVPM and co-wrote MAMD with Darren as well as was also being in the band for that as well.
and was the singer for one of the songs in twisted (not in show, but in the closing credits and on the soundtrack album)
Not only that, but they went to college with and graduated 3 years behind Pasek and Paul, which is part of how they got involved in this episode. Breaks my heart as a Buckeye that it was that school up north, but I can make an exception because they are all awesome.
I’m so glad someone put this because it’s so sad that others don’t know it!!!
THATS SO COOL!!
Yes, and Chris and Grant were also classmates at Elon University, a great performing arts school. They’ve remained friends since those early years. Chris has an amazing voice.
I love when she says “Barry’s FRIEND Iris” 😂 You can tell she had never seen the show. I love it lol.
I know
“Mon-el” (Christopher wood) and “kara” (Melissa benoist) actually got married in real life and have a baby and it’s completely irrelevant to this video but it’s kinda adorable
It saddens me so much that their characters can't be together in the show, but the fact that they're married in real life makes it slightly better. Haha.
@@Kelociraptor7 Yesss and they seem so great together. I’m absolutely in love with Melissa Benoist so seeing her truly happy makes me happy. 😭
@@typiper they had SO much chemistry!
@@Kelociraptor7 yeah I love that they are together and have a cute family! I love that they are happy! Though in my opinion I do feel like their characters weren't great for each other. Their chemistry is amazing, that's a given but with Mon-el's tendency (before going into the future) of not listening to Kara and not treating her in the way that respects her individuality and the need of her not fully needing to be saved all the time (this episode excluded), made me think that Mon-el and Kara had too many things counteracting each other with their personalitlies and what they need/wanted in a relationship. If that makes sense.
Yes
Alternate title: “Hannah simps for Darren Criss while not knowing Arrowverse characters”
don’t we all
accurate XD
*and Jeremy Jordan
@@giugiulinda1 mhm
I was sobbing when he left supergirl
When Berry walked out to stop the shooting, he was filling the instinct of his normal life, being super fast and such. He didn't really think about it because he does it on a constant bases. At this moment he forgot he wasn't The Flash, he was just Berry Allen
Same with Kara, she's used to being bullet proof
Barry*(no offence)
I love Kara and Barry's relationship. Perfectly platonic and perfectly adorable!
that fact that she knows that Darren has singing experience but doesn’t know that Grant Gustin (Barry) and Melissa Bonneit (Kara) are professional and were in glee with Darren just makes me question life.
Edit: thanks for the likes
Also Jessie L Martin (played the original Tom Collins in Rent) and John Borrowman played multiple roles on broadway. This entire cast is just musically talented 👌👌👌
Same
@@cheyennetilton6027 Yeah and it’s such a huge coincidence too. Like they all happened to be professional in singing
*Benoist
melissa was also on broadway
She said "when a show does a musical episode, not every single person has singing experience but they all sound great"....they basically did this episode BECAUSE so many members of each cast have musical theater experience. 😉
There are so many Arrowverse actors that have musical theater backgrounds! There's another episode where Barry and Kaitlin sing, and Joe is a singer in an alternate universe that Barry visited.
@Jow 3 Grant isn’t dead?
Yes glee reunion;)
@@koolshi5573 yeah I’m very confused
@Jow 3 I'm sorry what!? Grant ain't dead man...
This proposal ending scene is one of the most iconic moments to Flash literally because of these two characters, as Barry and Iris, are just as important as their superhero and news reporter selves. And it's just one of the most important scenes to the show when you understand the context of what's happened before and coming after this. I've watched and cried over this scene so many times over the years haha
I literally remember crying during the scene the first time I saw it.
I love when she sees Barry the first time and recognizes him, she changes the line to “My HuckleBARRY Friend” 😄
Kara sings “Running Home to You” at their wedding as Iris walks down the aisle. It was very touching until the wedding got disrupted by nazis from another earth.
I love how this type of thing is just normal for us LMAO
I love this sentence haha
If I didn't know the context that would've sounded weird XD
I mean... spoiler alert... but yeah.
@@carolinealano3962 she’s not watching the show, just this episode so it’s all good
“teach me a lesson darren criss” HANNAH-
😌
@@HannahBayles fyi HR is the name of a character, I believe he is a scientist/writer (I won't put any spoilers) 🤗🥰
Also if you like superhero things you should definitely watch The Flash and Supergirl series
@@bethelliot7140 and Arrow
@@HannahBayles Hannah, Darren, Melissa, and grant were all in glee
"Obviously it's 'Daddy' something..."
🤣😂🤣
As a vocal coach myself, I LOVE this. But not knowing Jesse Martin was in the original cast of Rent shows how young you are. 🤣
im so much more educated than her on these things its hilarious, I was born in 2010 and I know that as well as many other things
This episode is full of so many incredible reunions/crossovers!!!
- To start, there’s the Supergirl/The Flash with a bit of Arrow/Legends thrown in
- Glee, of course, with Grant, Melissa, Darren, and even the choreographer
- University of Michigan - Darren, Carlos Valdes, and Pasek & Paul all went to school together (Carlos can even be spotted playing bass in A Very Potter Musical starring/written by Darren when they were both at U of M)
- Grant and Chris (Mon-El) also went to the same college
- Jesse L Martin and Jeremy Jordan did a movie together - Joyful Noise
- And of course, just the presence of Broadway/West End legends like Jeremy Jordan, John Barrowman, Jesse L Martin, and Victor Garber
My only complaint is not enough singing, I need more!!! (Especially from Darren and Jeremy and Carlos!)
I enjoy listening to these great actors SPEAKING far more than listening to the voice coach in this video..
The joke about Barry saying he'll "be there in a flash" and Kara scolding him is a long standing joke because Barry constantly says it in the comics, and everyone groans.
Berry? Not wally?
@@burntcandle_daoist Nope, Barry had the dad jokes. Wally was more whimsical
@@benjaminscott8198 I kinda hate that they tried making movie flash more whimsical it just didn’t work out the way they wanted
It gives me ladybug and chat noir vibes
The flash is always late also
this episode is what happens when they make a musical episode with actual SINGERS
Ikr!
Part of menthinks they just did this episode cos they realised like, "wait, our entire cast is filled with greta singers! WE MUST DO A MUSICAL EPISODE!!!"
@@Aisha_Luv if you watch the behind the scenes of this episode that is exactly what they did
@@jamesrodd8667 iirc they just did what the fans of the arrowverse have been saying that they should make a musical because of these cast.
100% this! Nearly everyone who sang has professionally sung for years.
@@Aisha_Luv I am like they should really do another one before SuperGirl is gone, but I guess do it before the flash goes and bring back the whole crew.
This is an instance when musical episodes is perfect! This is why you do it! When you already have a Broadway studded cast, do it!!!! And I love how well they did it!!!
That’s why I’m rooting for gilded age to have one. It would be glorious with that casttt
Love this episodes. I never knew Grant and Melissa had such good voices.. But it made sense when I found out they had both been in Glee. When Grant sang "Running Home To You" I was blown away and it became one of my favorite songs
Both of them have been on broadway, i think. Maybe? I dont know. But theyve been performing for a while
Grant starred in West Side Story and travelled doing shows. Melissa has background is musical theatre as well and recently starred in the Carol King Musical!
Yeah Grant Gustin totally knows how to tap dance, he is trained in tap dancing. This whole episode is “look we have these amazing talented singers/dancers/Broadway people. Let’s have fun and show it off”.
Jesse L Martin can tap dance as well
@@octosadventures1949 *flashbacks to comic con panel*
Indeed. Why don't showoff whatcha got ?
The episode caught me off guard like wtf all these people can sing?
@@mschickenwing9953 literally one of my favorite cast moments
what makes this musical episode better than the rest you ask? THEY CAN ALL SING. A few of them have been on BRoAdWaY
I wanted Jesse L Martin to have his own song!
If only they had given them any notable songs to perform :(
@@aytcs Chris and Grants friendship is so underrated
Most of them actually!!! Tom Cavanaugh and Keiynan Lonsdale can also sing but they didn’t get to sing.
Yeah they all have experience and it’s great
When Kara said “Thank rao ” it’s the god of krypton, and her story is the same as Superman’s. I probably watched this episode like a hundred times I love it
My favourite tidbit of trivia for this episode is that every single person who sings in the episode has been on Broadway at some point. That's why they're all so amazing. Also, Victor Garber, who was actually written off his own cw superhero crossover show, was brought back for this one episode only, just so he could sing. He was, at the time, on Broadway with Bernadette Peters in Hello Dolly (Which I had the absolute *pleasure* to be able to see live) but was brought back for this one episode purely because he has been, and at the time actually was, on Broadway. Anyways, just a little fun fact for you!
actually Victor Garber was written off the following season
Normal people: H.R means human resources
The flash fans: Harrison Wells
Thank you😂 I was saying that
I literally CANT think of anything else when I hear H.R. lmao
I still find it weird they said H.R. when his initials are H.W.
@@andrealperowitch5273 i think H.W doesn't sound good tbh😂
@@andrealperowitch5273 I think it is Harrison R. Wells.
“I like him, his hair is luxurious”

She has no idea
Absolutely no idea
definitely no idea
No idea ever

Cutter is played by John Barrowman. A singer and actor who was on Arrow, Doctor Who, and has his own concerts.
He’s also a British musical star…
This is the first musical episode since Buffy's Once More With Feeling that felt like it really captured the spirit of what a musical episode should be. Easily one of my favorite episodes in the entire Arrowverse.
OMWF was easily one of the greatest musical episodes in history. Still listen to some of the songs from that to this day.
"Who runs out in the middle of the street during a gunfight?" Superheroes who are immune to bullets who aren't used to actually being in any danger whatsoever from guns, that's who.
Yesss that's exactly what I thought!
Was going to say the same thing. I mean... They're superheroes. C'mon! 🤦🏼♀️
I was about to say that Kara has been bulletproof her whole life and Berry can dodge bullets, they were both just forgetting the rules of the movie
now the real question is, who commented this first...
damn who hurt you lol
"Are they fighting or are they racing?" Honestly, every viewer of The Flash questions that at least once a season.
Clearly they're racing, until a bolt is thrown or a punch.
I genuinely love when a none geek watches a geek show and actually semi enjoys it. Loved your commentary, this was actually fun to watch. I Laughed so many times. Yeh, “runnin home to you” is an original song for the show. Kara sings a version of it at Barry’s wedding and grant (Barry) has also sung it on stage live at festivals.
Also Kara’s bf in the show (the one you thought was cute) is also her husband irl
My husband and I’s first dance song at our wedding was “Running Home to You” and I LOVE it so much. Never get tired of hearing it
Fun fact: the actors for Kara and Mon-El actually started dating after shooting this very episode and they are married with a kid now.
I didn't know it was after this episode!!!! That's so cool!
Omg!!!! That made me love them THAT much more
It wasn´t after this
@@juanj1557 It was, after shooting it, Mel and Chris got together
I was so sad when Mon-El had to leave on Supergirl but when I found this out it made me feel 100 times better to know they ended up together in real life because I thought Mon-El and Kara would end up together on Supergirl
Barry and Kara: **Singing a song about being best friends**
Hannah: Are they besties?
hey hey hey I said that BEFORE they sang their super friend song. Give me some credit 😅
@@HannahBayles -9:06: the song ends
-9:00: "are they besties?"
@@safire07 I understand what you meant but the time stamps are wrong so here:
The song ends at 23:38
Hannah goes “are they besties?” at 23:44
@@mjanger1133 yeah it wasnt telling me the times it was telling me negative numbers as in how many minutes are left which is the -9.
@@safire07 so if you’re on mobile, which I am, you can tap where it tells you the amount of time and it will switch between modes. It may also work on a computer but I’m not sure
the fact that she doesn't know that all these actors are pretty established singers is kinda cute
but it also sucks that the amount of actual singing in this episode was so limited as she says, pretty much everyone BUT Melissa and Grant have like one song
also I'm ngl Grant's song at the end there is just so good, I can't believe that this song was made original for the show, I've literally listened to this song apart from the show
the last 4 minutes is my favourite scene in the whole flash series, its just so emotionally strong that even i get goosebumps by it.
when you said Barry is a feminist he so is, in another episode with him a Kara he literally went "Let's step away from the nice lady and settle this like women" and when Kara looked at him he just went "what, there are more of you guys here then me" I loved it.
My favorite is when they introduce the two characters to each other. Kara is on fire and Barry goes to pay the fire and then goes “oop! Nope, not touching without consent”
@@Kat006Kitty He doesn't say not without consent, he just doesn't want to touch the fire lol
@@CMThota Well not exactly. He doesn't pat it out cuz he got flashbacks to when Felicity's shirt got caught on fire, and he tried to pat it out and it ended with her taking her shirt off lol
Didn't want the same thing happening with Kara.
@@TechnoPup Oh yeah!! Sorry I completely mental-blanked on that, I've watched more Supergirl than Flash so I was just associating it with the one scene in the crossover
Do you remember which episode this was? lol im trying to find it and cant just because i want to watch it again
“Who runs out in the middle of a gun fight” superheroes who are used to being bullet proof that’s who
And that heal fast
or aren't bulletproof at all and just do it to protect someone
Bahaha
Adore Grant, he’s a triple threat. Acting, dancing and amazing singing.
Running Home to You is such a beautiful song, I didn't believe it was an original at first. Genuinely just watching the clip has me tearing up 😭
Wow I cant believe Blaine finally got back at Sebastian for blinding him with rock salt. So proud.
*almost
Literally my exact thought I was like “well we’ll we’ll how the tables have turned” 😂
Did I miss something ??? 🤔
YES finally
I mean it was Blaine’s own fault he got blinded. The slushee would have hit Kurt’s chest and just ruined his clothing. Tried to be hero and just got hurt instead.
“Jeremy you charming bastard.”
I couldn’t agree more
That comment and 4:20 "Teach me a lesson Darren Criss". They spoke to my soul
"True Love's Kiss" You kinda have to know the story of Barry Allen and Iris West to get this. She is his lodestar. Her super power is to be his rock when he rolls. Wherever Barry goes in the world, the universe, the multiverse, the Speed Force, you name it. She's his ticket home. Always has been. Always will be. It's a weird super power and she don't get a cape but in some ways Iris West puts Lois Lane to shame. Since day one I've loved seeing Candace Patton in this role. She exemplifies the heart of Iris West. The writers sometimes forget this, but Candace Patton never has. Love conquers all.
Darren's playing the part of a comic character who literally teaches lessons, that's why his hair's like that. A decent chunk of these people were on Glee at some point or another, like Kara and Barry, or have experience with singing at some point in the past.
Hannah doesn’t know that both Melissa and Grant were in Glee with Darren does she? And the little nod to the warblers with the chest thing went totally above her head.
Amd Carlos Valdez went to the same University as Darren Criss and was a part of StarKid. And John Barrowmam has serious Broadway and WestEnd experience.
Wait whats the warblers nod thing?
@@livorourke2369 I think the dance move that grant did during "put a little love in your heart"
Vanguardmetrics nah it’s the one in 11:04 by Grant, followed by Darren’s a few seconds later
Liv ORourke Warblers is a performing group in Glee. Darren and Grant’s characters were once members. The hand to chest and swaying thing was kindof a signature move when Grant was the team’s lead.
"Why did he run in the middle of a gunfight" Well, he's used to be faster than bullets, force of habits.
Omg lol
Yup
I love the flash and super girl
It's a little sad Chyler Leigh (who plays Supergirl's sister) wasn't involved in this episode. I know Hannah really loved her rendition of "Breathe" from the Grey's Anatomy musical episode.
I watched Supergirl before I watched Greys and spent all of Lexie's seasons like, "wow, she's so beautiful. I wonder why I've not seen her in anything else" and never once clocked that she was Alex. I also watched all of Glee and never once clocked it was Melissa Benoist in both. I only realised for both when I went to imdb. The Supergirl/Superman hairstyle and glasses fixes would work on me for sure :P
grant startet out as a tapdancer and then had some acting and singing roles and its very funny how differently people react to him dependend on when and how they found him since he has some quite interesting roles an skills one might not have expected
I’m upset she skimmed over the part where they said “it’s almost like they’ve done this before” as a little nod to the fact that a bunch of them were in glee. I honestly didn’t even realize it or recognize them until that line 😂
How did i miss that what part of the episode is it
darren and carlos are both original members of team starkid, a musical production company
I mean so meny arrow verse characters are in glee
The motivation for this episode:
We have so many talented singers in this cast. Fuck it, let's just shove em all in an episode and make them sing. It doesn't have to make sense. The fans will love it
They had a press release that said this
AND WE DID
@@keyboardsmash3983 that's awesome
It was so random 😂
And, yes, we did 😁
Grant Gustin who plays the flash was in Glee in a later season. He played a bully from the prep school I forgot the name of. Kara (I don't know the actress's name) was also in Glee in an even later season. Soooo yeah they both knew how to sing and dance before this show. Also H.R. was referring to H.R. Wells. The guy that said "They're back!"
Answering the question yes, Grant Gustin(the actor of Barry Allen/The flash) can actually tap dance in real life and he could do it even before the show and another fun fact every actor who sang in this special episode is a professional singer as well
He was on Broadway aswell
I almost died when she said “oh he’s good too.” Of course he is he’s John fracking Barrowman! He’s a Broadway star!
Lollll I was like so who's gonna tell her?
I was like HOW DARE she not know John Barrowman? Lol.
And Martin!
I yelled at my phone when she said that too like seriously?!? And Darren, grant and Melissa were literally in a show called glee about singing so why is she surprised they can all sing? Then again she may just not watch glee or doctor who (which is where I was originally introduced to John Barrow man) so cant really get mad
How did she not know who John Barrowman is?
“Are they talking about H.R. at work?”
Yes, but also no.
Why was this so funny to me LMAOO
BAHHA
What's H.R. , other than the cool wells

I like how even though he only has a few lines, Jeremy just is so clearly the best singer there.
That is Broadway, Movie, TV & London stage star John Barrowman with the knife! And yes, he can sing!!! Grant can tap dance and actually was a dancer in West Side Story. He went from there to Glee.
Fun Fact: During their wedding episode, Kara comes back and sings Runnin' Home to You during the ceremony. I definitely cried.
SAMEEEE
She should watch it
I came here to say that and i saw your post. So, yes, i cried too.
What episode is that?
@@samwich288 If i'm not mistaken, it is on Supergirl 3x08.
I just realized when she see Barry, its right when shes singing "My huckleBARRY friend"
Nice spot 😮🧐
I read hummelberry
It's an actual song and it says huckleberry friend, yeah
i was about to SAYYY i nvr realizedd
@@arandomgirl306 Right, but they purposefully made it a pun
The final song of that episode is by far my FAVORITE part of the entire series! It's so romantic and heartfelt. I cry every time!
I’m surprised that with all the Jeremy Jordan love that she hasn’t reacted to any performances of his from “Smash” season 2. He’s got so many amazing songs there and his high note in Under Pressure is just unbelievable!!!
Or his performance of “Moving Too Fast” from Last 5 Years. He’s great as always but his version of that song is my favorite.
Alternative Title:
Glee Cast accidentally goes into a superhero universe because of something unexplainable happen

I love that glee had the superhero episode and Melissa’s character was like ‘skin tight spandex? not my thing’
And then a few years later she was supergirl😂😂
Dammit barry
Apparently in rehearsals for this, nobody had heard Grant sing this yet, so Candace's emotions here are authentic. It's incredibly heartwarming
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life.
Awh thats so cute😭
yess
I didn’t know this
@@Yuki-qs5mt huh??? 💀💀
i love that this episode probably just came from the fact the cw DC shows had soooo many theatre and musical actors that they figured they'd just build a plot that allowed all of them to sing
This is like the 3rd time I've watched this along with the Flash Episode when I binge the season. It is so fun watching Hannah's reactions.
That point about how not everyone in musical episodes can sing is a good observation.
If I’m not mistaken, every single person who sings in this episode has had theatre experience or some kind of singing background. The reason why this all takes place in this weird dream sequence is because about half the actors in this episode are not from this show but rather from spin off shows where they all exist in the same universe. Except some of the other shows dont fit the tone of having a musical episode.
So they used that story telling tool to specifically bring in (either all or almost all) cast members who can actually sing!
WHY ARE YOU HERE PD?
Also, great explanation 👌
BRO PD WHY ARE YOU HERE LIKE HI
PD you are always everywhere I'm never expecting you to be at! 😂 it's a surprise everytime
There's actually a lot musical theatre alums in these shows. They didn't even have time to showcase Chris Wood, Tom Cavanagh, Amy Pemberton, or, if you want to go outside this particular season, Ciara Renee and Colin Donnell.
Yes great explanation
“Enemies to lovers, my favorite.”
“Teach me a lesson Darren Criss”
I’m dying!! Same Hannah, same.
I remember watching this when it first came out and I adored it, too! Like "Barry", watching musicals (and old movies in general) was one of my favorite memories with my mom, too (and my mom's been gone since 2010). So this whole episode really hit me hard with all the feels! And I totally agree, that ending song/proposal! Just amazing! I wish Jesse Martin would have sang more, since I knew him from Rent, and I can never get enough of Darren Cris's voice but everyone sounded fantastic.
Honesty, this episode listed lots of the reasons I love the Flash. I've followed DC series for years and I never get tired of itm
Runnin' Home To You is a GORGEOUS song. I cry every time.
ME TOO. I want to play the song at my wedding.
Kara's version is really good
@@adrianarango8320 I agree. I wish we had a full version of the song from her
@@adrianarango8320
I like her version as well but it was definitely sped up but I just slow it down
Omg me too!
I also noticed how they put Jeremy on the piano in the big “put a little love in your heart” number because he can’t dance
I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO SAY THAT LIKE OF COURSE EVERYONE IS IN THE DANCE NUMBER WHILE JEREMY JUST HAPPENS TO BE PRE OCCUPIED
Well Jeremy is an accomplished piano player. Even when he starred in the series Smash, his role was the song composer for the musical that was being written within the show.
YESS omg lmao
LMAO UR RIGHT I DIDNT NOTICE
I’m sure he could have done that choreography.
I absolutely love both of these shows and this is forever my favorite episode *and* crossover. watching you react and also loving it made my heart so so happy and I just kept wanting to explain the backstories so you could appreciate it even more 😅 thank you for this. made my day 🥹
A lot of the cast in the flash can sing and there are multiple episodes of them singing it’s awesome

I love this comment bc it’s so true
"Coincidence, we have Broadway stars and excellent singers on the show, let's give the audience a musical episode, why not?"
And the audience ended up loving the episode including me, I LOVE THIS EPISODE
Honestly it was a travesty that they decided not to do another musical episode after that. It's even more of a disgrace considering how Supergirl is ending now. I want them at least to say goodbye! Come on!
This was honestly one of the only musical episodes of a generally non musical show that I absolutely adore. And I know for a fact that it was due to the cast.
@@guillemmartinez9958 Yeah, at least one crossover between flash and supergirl to say goodbye to seeing them together as a team 💔
@@karlaquintana9143 it is heartbreaking to think they won't get to say goodbye😭😭😭
@@guillemmartinez9958 well flash is having like a 5 part crossover starting season 8 premieres in November so maybe they will
the name of the person who jumped off the lil carrier thing and sang, his name is Carlos Valdes, amazing person and singer! he even has his own song "Open Your Eyes"
4:31 That's for the rock salt in the slushie. See what happens to my eyes now Sebastian?!
Also all of the characters who are singing in this have had a Broadway career.( John barrowman, Jesse l Martin, Carlos Valdez, grant gustin, victor garbor, etc
Edit: Jeremy jordan as well.
and grant and Melissa were both on glee at different points with Daren Chris
Melissa too!! She was in beautiful the carole king musical for a limited run,
I didn't know grant was on broadway. time to go look him up on broadway.
@@hazelfilene964 yeah I think it was west side story but i could be wrong
@@hazelfilene964 I think he was in the tour cast of West Side Story.
@@CareylovesNY yeah I just looked him up. I believed y’all when you said he was ok Broadway I just hasn’t heard that/didn’t remember 😊
I was waiting for her to realize that Iris' Dad is played by Jesse Martin who is in Rent
I was surprised she didn't recognize John Barrowman, too...
@@ladycampion agreed he is so iconic. Guess she isnt a whovian
@@skylarramsay1389 Her loss! But maybe I'm just old... I only knew the names of the actors who played the dads. 😊
I love this video. My sister was a singer in NY before she passed last year. I wish i had asked her about this episode.
I love Jeremy!! Like his performance in Newsies just omg. He will always be one of my favorite singers
“Jeremy you charming bastard”
"Who runs out into the middle of a gun fight?"
Well. I mean. As the Fastest Man Alive, Barry can generally avoid getting shot very easily, and Kara and usually bulletproof.
that's very true. Supergirl is basically invincible as long as she has her powers but strong villains can still hurt her as can magic and Green Kryptonite. A red sun will also weaken her powers.
@@MattZRJSRoxy thanks, Captain Obvious. 😏
It’s true. Superheroes don’t look both ways when crossing the street.
@@MattZRJSRoxy super girl is not invinsible lol , I could make a case barry is currently stronger than her
@@godusopp2752 I would say you’re wrong, but you’re not. Flash is the best hero due to his speed.
i have watch this so many times and i love the flash. that is literally my dream proposal and for good reason. i love that song soooooo much.
Thank you for watching the complete episode and I would love to tell your everything about the flash and supergirl.
But I just wanna thank you for how you did this and your music expertise 😍 you are really helping me even tho I'm not really learning
Why did I spend this entire video yelling "HONEY PLEASE JUST LOOK GRANT UP. THAT'S WHY HIS TAP DANCING AND PROPOSAL SONG WERE ABSOLUTELY STELLAR. HE GLEE'D"
IKR.
he’s a professional dancer before glee
When almost the entire cast is musical theatre trained or from Broadway... Truly the best CW musical episode ever.
Right!? You have Broadway actors like Victor Garber, Jesse L. Martin, Jeremy Jordan, stage performers like John Barrowman, and of course Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist and Darren Criss were all in "Glee" soooo much musical talent in one episode
@@PrinceTrexus Don’t forget Carlos Valdez. He not only trained in musical theater (and was in Starkid alongside Darren Criss), but he was also on Broadway.
One of my favorite episodes from the Arrowverse! The last song that Grant sang gave me goosebumps when I saw that episode for the first time!!
Edit: It gives me goosebumps every time I watch that episode!!
It was lovely seeing your reactions to the singing and dancing and to the actors and actresses in general! ☺️❤️
"Is [Darren Criss] literally just a villain for one episode and just teach the heroes a lesson?"
No, he's the excuse the producers made up to give the Arrowverse fans what they've been demanding for years, "If you have so many incredible singers in your casts, WHY DO THEY NOT SING?!?!?!"
He sucks at playing the Music Meister. I recommend the episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister!" from Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It's such a good musical episode.
This ☝️
(That is absolutely the reason they casted him and he isn't reeeally a villan.)
Music Meister isn't a made up character by the series tho.
I never said he was made up, I said he was the excuse the producers used to justify the musical episode everyone demanded.
@@omegagilgamesh Right. Yeah, misunderstood that. Please @ me if you're replying to me. Almost ignored this.
In Barry’s defence, he’s used to running into the line of fire and just being fast enough to avoid the bullets
And along those lines, most of the time bullets just bounce off of Kara.
and supergirl is used to being bulletproof
It just hit me all over again what a RIDICULOUS number of talented people were in these CW shows…
I have never seen the flash but I recognized so many actors in this
You’ve got Grant, Darren and Melissa from Glee
Jeremy Jordan our king
I’m pretty sure that one guy who says “I run this town” is Collins in Rent
The guys whose Daddy Warbucks in Annie
These people are all seriously trained singers, no wonder this sounds incredible
Yes, that last song, "Running Home to You" was the absolute best part of the musical episode. Supergirl (Kara) sings it for Barry and Iris during their wedding episode in season... 4 I think, so if you wanted to react to something short I'd recommend that.
She sang it in Supergirl 3x08 "Crisis on Earth X, part 1, just before the Nazis of Earth X crashed the wedding.
it’s by pasek and paul too!
Oh, YES! Please let's top that komment, i really woud like to see a wideo-reaction of that moment :)
The fact that every person that sang has either been on Broadway and/or in Glee and you didn’t recognize almost any of them is pretty hilarious.
Jesse L Martin was in the original cast of Rent, John Barrowman was in Sunset Boulevard, Carlos Valdez was in Once, Melissa Benoist was in Waitress, Victor Garber has over 15 Broadway credits and has been nominated for multiple Tonys. Grant is actually the only one who’s never been on Broadway, but he was in the touring company of West Side Story. That’s why they did a musical episode. A lot of fans were asking for one because it would be a waste to have that many Broadway vets in a cast and not take advantage.
Victor Garber originated the roles of Anthony in Sweeney Todd and John Wilkes Booth in Assassins. Those are iconic Sondheim roles. He also was Jesus in the movie version of Godspell.
Plus, I just remembered that Darren was briefly in “How to Succeed in Business ...” on Broadway.
Melissa also did Beautiful: the Carole King musical
Borrowman started out doing musicals and has done quite a lot of different shows (Miss Saigon, Sunset Blvd, etc). "He's really good, too." Yeah, no kidding. It's not as if he's done this before or anything...
Darren Criss was also in Hegwig and the Angry Inch
I sang “running home to you” as an audition song because it touched me so much, I definitely just sang to this track tho. But the whole episode was so great!
