Riverdale have confirmed the details of the next musical episode.

Following in the footsteps of Carrie and Heathers, the students of Riverdale High will be performing Hedwig and the Angry Inch this season. “Musical episodes have become a yearly tradition on ‘Riverdale’, but this year, we wanted to try something different,” the series' creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said in a statement [via TVLine]. “When we heard that Stephen Trask was a fan of ‘Riverdale’, we thought — is there a way we can do Hedwig and still have it tie into the stories we’re telling? “Doing a deep dive, we figured out a cool way to use classic songs like ‘Wicked Little Town’ and ‘Midnight Radio’ that made total sense and are just amazing and iconic."

And, as it turns out, there's an added bonus to doing the show. “And bonus, Hedwig is literally Cole’s favourite musical," Aguirre-Sacasa added. The description for the episode, which is set to air on April 8 in North America, will see Kevin Keller decided to revive Riverdale High's tradition of hosting a variety show (because, let's face it, their musicals haven't gone too well over the years). “But when Mr. Honey forbids him from performing a number from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Kevin and our gang rally against their principal — by each performing a number from Hedwig, turning the variety show into a full-fledged musical that, as always, reflects our characters’ inner lives and struggles. Amidst the drama, one forbidden ‘showmance’ begins to blossom," the description continues.
