ABC's THE GOLDBERGS takes on the longest-running musical on Broadway, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in an all-new episode titled "The Greatest Musical Ever Written." In the episode, Barry makes fun of Adam for wanting to be in his school's musical production, but he suddenly becomes jealous when he discovers Adam and Lainey were cast in roles where they kiss each other.

The all-new episode, written by Annie Mebane and directed by Lew Schneider, airs WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network. Ana Gasteyer guest stars as Ms. Cinoman. Below, BWW has an exclusive sneak peek!
