The Simpsons will kickoff season 33 with a special musical episode this Sunday.
The Simpsons are headed to Broadway this Sunday as they kick off their 33rd season with a brand-new musical episode!
The episode follows Marge as she decides to stage a revival of her high school musical, "Y2K: The Millennium Bug." Dreaming of a show where she, the stage manager and everyone's best pal, will be the focal point of the production, Marge's life becomes a musical with her as the lead (and her singing is voiced by Kristen Bell).
What Marge isn't prepared for is when the actual star of the show, Sasha Reed (voiced by Broadway alum Sara Chase), returns and steals the spotlight, leading Marge to discover her beloved high school memories are not at all how she remembers.
BroadwayWorld premiered a new clip featuring one of the musical numbers from the show, featuring references to Stephen Sondheim, Patti LuPone, and more. However, this is not the Simpsons' first musical endeavor. Take a look back at some of THE SIMPSONS best musical tributes throughout the years.
