La La Land Songwriters Contributing to The Flash/Supergirl Musical Ep

Big talent behind the upcoming musical episode.

La La Land songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have written a song called "Runnin' Home to You" for the upcoming Flash/Supergirl musical episode.

The pair aren't the only notable contributers - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star and executive producer Rachel Bloom has joined Robot Chicken's Tom Root to write a song called "Superfriends", which will also be featured in the episode.

Pasek and Paul are currently up for Academy Awards for their songs City of Stars and Audition (The Fools Who Dream), both from La La Land.

The musical episode will take place on The Flash, and is called "Duet." Musical performances are expected from stars Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, Jesse L. Martin, Victor Garber, Carlos Valdes, Jeremy Jordan, and John Barrowman, and non-singing guest star appearances from Supergirl’s David Harewood and Chris Wood.

“When we get to the musical episode, both Barry and Kara will find themselves at pivotal crossroads on their respective series," Supergirl and The Flash executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said. "The experience of going through the musical will have a great impact on both series going forward. To be able to do a musical episode is so exciting to us. If anything, it's what I would always love about what Joss Whedon would do [on Buffy] with 'Hush' or 'The Body.' He'd have these very special episodes, but they were intrinsic to the ongoing storytelling that was going on.”
