TVLine

The rock musical on fictional genderqueer rock singer Hedwig Schmidt will get the Riverdale musical treatment on April 8. According to the episode's official description, "after the previous debacles of Carrie and Heathers, Kevin has decided to revive Riverdale High’s tradition of hosting a variety show. 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.”
