BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin better work on their vocal exercises. There will be two musical crossover episodes later in the season on The CW shows “Supergirl” and “The Flash.”

Executive Producer Greg Berlanti announced the plans Thursday at an annual event for journalists who cover television.

The idea makes sense because a number of the show’s cast members have musical backgrounds.

Benoist and Gustin had roles on “Glee,” while Jesse L. Martin of “The Flash” and Jeremy Jordan of “Supergirl” are Broadway vets.

Berlanti said he hopes to make the songs available for fans afterward.
