The CW's musical comedy series Crazy Ex Girlfriend is well known - and loved - for its iconic and usually spot on parodies of various musical genres. From iconic bands, famous music videos, and pop music clichés, Crazy Ex Girlfriend covers the gamut of musical forms. But, for the Broadway lovers out there, Crazy Ex Girlfriend songs inspired by real musicals are oh-so-satisfying. In addition to hitting the sweet spot for scrupulous viewers bound to recognize the nods to showstopping hits, Crazy Ex Girlfriend musical references happen more often than most viewers realize.
Some of the best Crazy Ex Girlfriend songs are affectionate, tongue-in-cheek parodies of the most iconic numbers from musical classics like Les Miserables, Singin' In The Rain, and The Music Man. Even viewers with only a passing interest in musical theater are bound to pick up on chords eerily similar to classics like "Do You Hear The People Sing?" However, Rachel Bloom is a well known connoisseur of all things Broadway. There have also been hilarious spoofs and nods to older, lesser known musicals from previous eras. Only the true musical theater geeks will catch Bloom's references to esoteric Gilbert and Sullivan as she undercuts the sappiness and schmultz with the kind of crudeness and sass we've come to expect and love from the show.
