After months of longing from fans,“The Flash” and “Supergirl” will indeed be doing a musical crossover episode, taking advantage of the various cast members in the Arrowverse who have musical abilities and backgrounds.
Executive producer Greg Berlanti made the announcement at the Television Critics organization’s summer press tour on Thursday.
Berlanti cited the singing talents of stars such as Melissa Benoist, or Grant Gustin,Jesse L. Martin, Victor Garber, or Laura Benanti and Jeremy Jordan as the catalyst for why the idea was irresistible,and she shared that the actors are always signing between takes on the set.

After the panel,Berlanti explained to journalists that Benoist’s Supergirl will probably cross over into Earth 1 for the four-show crossover, since “Supergirl” has established that she resides in a different universe from the rest of the CW superhero shows.
Bringing “Supergirl” into the same universe as the other superheroes is not a precedence for the showrunners this season, and Berlanti continued,but a doppelganger of Kara on Earth 1 could show up.

And we’ve got more urgent things.”The seeds of the four-part crossover will be planted in “Supergirl,” but things really kick off in “The Flash” and will span all four shows over four nights on the CW.“Connective tissue will be in ‘Supergirl,'” he said. “But if there’s a beginning, and middle and end,even production-wise, the way we’ve imagined it is the storyline kind of starts in ‘The Flash. But you’ll see a peek on ‘Supergirl.'”
