On last night's LATE SHOW, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" creator and star Rachel Bloom showed host Stephen Colbert how any moment can become a musical. Check out the video!

In the freshman series CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND, Rachel Bloom is Rebecca Bunch, a successful driven, and possibly crazy young woman who impulsively gives up everything in a desperate attempt to find love and happiness...in suburban West Covina, CA.

The cast includes Tony nominee and recent film voice-over star Fontana (Frozen) who plays Greg, a bartender and Rebecca's (Bloom) first friend; actor and comedian McDonald (MADtv) is Darryl, Rebecca's new boss; OBIE and Drama Desk Award winner Champlin (Broadway productions of Billy Elliot, Sweeney Todd) plays Paula, her co-worker at the law firm who is suspicious of Rebecca; and Broadway star Rodriguez III (Here Lies Love) plays Josh, Rebecca's childhood boyfriend who she serendipitously runs into years later, and who acts as the catalyst for her dramatic life change.

The series often presents musical numbers which channel the spirit of well-known Broadway shows. Below, check out the "Flooded with Justice" video from a recent episode which sounds an awful lot like LES MISERABLE's 'Do You Hear the People Sing':
