The musical was featured in Marvel Studios' "Hawkeye" series, which included the musical number "Save The City." The song featured music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
"Save the City" was released on streaming platforms alongside the premiere of the series. The voices of Adam Pascal, Ty Taylor, Rory Donovan, Derek Klena, Bonnie Milligan, Christopher Sieber, and Shayna Steele can be heard on the song. While no other music from the previously-fictional musical has been released, "Save the City" was performed at Marvel's D23 Presentation in September of 2022.
Shaiman and Wittman are the creators of one of the most popular and relevant musicals in the past decade: Hairspray, the winner of Olivier, Drama Desk, Tony, and Grammy awards. In addition to Hairspray, some of their best known collaborations include Disney's Mary Poppins Returns, Catch Me if You Can, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and NBC's Smash. Their work can currently be seen on Broadway in Some Like It Hot.
