Top 10 Musical Episodes From Non-Musical TV Series
Mike Vicic - March 13, 2013
Tonight, THE NEIGHBORS features a few song-and-dance numbers, which is quite alien for a show that so far has had no singing or dancing. During the episode, the Bird-Kersees see a Broadway production, and when they return to Hidden Hills, Larry decides to stage his own musical -- with his neighbors helping him pull off the production, which was composed by Oscar and Tony-winning composer Alan Menken, who parodied his own Belle from Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
How will "Sing Like Larry Bird," tonight's episode of THE NEIGHBORS, compare with these Top 10 Musical Episodes From Non-Musical TV Series? Watch ABC at 8:30pm ET/PT to find out. Go to the bottom of the list if you want to see a preview of tonight's episode and to hear what the cast revealed about working with Menken.
