The extraordinary musical episode includes four original songs by renowned composer Justin Paul ("The Greatest Showman," "Dear Evan Hansen") and Glenn Slater ("Tangled," "School of Rock-The Musical"), as well as choreography from famed choreographer Ashley Wallen ("The Greatest Showman").

In the finale, frustrated by the lack of appreciation for all she does, Katie decides to go "full Westport" and leaves THE FAMILY to fend for themselves. Katie's plan quickly backfires when the kids seem to be doing just fine, leaving Greg to suffer the brunt of her absence.

The musical season finale of "American Housewife," airs on Tuesday, May 21 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

"American Housewife" is written by Sarah Dunn ("Spin City," "Bunheads") and produced by Kapital Entertainment and ABC Studios. Sarah Dunn, Aaron Kaplan, Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz are executive producers.

"A Mom's Parade" was written by Rick Weiner & Kenny Schwartz (story) and Kat Likkel & John Hoberg (teleplay), and directed by Paul Murphy.
