The long-running Fox animated comedy will present its first-ever all-musical episode, the show's producers revealed in a Comic-Con video panel on Saturday. Titled "The Star of the Backstage," the Sept. 26 premiere is "the most musical episode we've ever done," declared executive producer Matt Selman. "Almost wall-to-wall music. It's like a Broadway musical of an episode with all original songs."...
"The Star of the Backstage" represents the show's most ambitious musical stab yet. The episode was written by Simpsons writer-producer Elisabeth Kiernan Averick, who previously served as a write and producer on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. She co-wrote the lyrics with CXG composer Jack Dolgen, who wrote the music for this episode.
