It airs on the 18th, and I am anxiously looking forward to it. Scrubs is one of my favorite shows, and it's no coincidence that they have a lot of musical theatre buffs for fans. The series has always been very musical-minded, with frequent homages to musical theatre (not quite on the scale of FAMILY GUY but still pretty good). So this has the makings to be the best musical TV episode of them all.
SOME RANDOM BROADWAY-RELATED SCRUBS TRIVIA:
- the creator Bill Lawrence and actors Robert Maschio (Todd) and Sam Lloyd (Ted) all are theatre buffs and have musical theatre backgrounds to some degree
- Ken Jenkins (Dr Kelso) is the father of Daniel Jenkins and appeared with him as a replacement in BIG RIVER
- Aloma Wright (Nurse Roberts) toured in AINT MISBEHAVIN and performed with Jennifer Holliday in a gospel show
- Dr Grace Miller (Turk's attending surgeon throughout season 3, who made him late for his wedding) was played by Bellamy Young- who created the role of ingenue hooker Mary in THE LIFE and can be heard on the cast album
"The last train out of any station will not be full of nice guys."
- Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
