USA Network recently launched 'Evan's Campaign Chronicles', a new interactive webisode series for its hit series ROYAL PAINS, which includes the first-ever musical episode directed by Paulo Costanzo, who plays Evan R. Lawson. Below, get a first look at the webisode's final musical chapter courtesy of TVGuide.com!

In addition to starring in and directing the webseries, Costanzo also penned the original song featured in the musical episode along with composer Charlie Barnett after the show was not able to obtain the rights to a tune from Broadway's Les Miserables that they hoped to use. "Finally I just got frustrated and wrote the whole song - surprising myself," he tells TVGuide.com. "I've never actually written a song before and within a week, we were shooting it, which was really insane."

The final webisode features the entire cast, including Costanzo, Mark Feuerstein, Reshma Shetty, Ben Shenkman and Brooke D'Orsay, who sing a witty number set to an original composition about Evan's goal to win the seat on the Council.

USA created Evan's Campaign Chronicles in conjunction with series creator and executive producers Andrew Lenchewski and Michael Rauch and their creative team, as well as BPG, an integrated advertising agency for the entertainment business.

Royal Pains is written and executive produced by Andrew Lenchewski and Michael Rauch. Rich Frank also serves as executive producer along with Jeff Kwatinetz and Paul Frank from Prospect Park, Connie Burge and Carol Flint. Jon Sherman and Jack Bernstein co-executive produce. The series comes from Universal Cable Productions. Royal Pains films entirely in New York (Long Island and Brooklyn) and at locations around the Hamptons.
