Broadway's Lea Salonga will guest star on the Season Finale of The CW's CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND titled "Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!". The show airs Monday, April 18th at 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET.

Salonga, most recently seen on Broadway in ALLEGIANCE, broke the news that she would be singing on the episode in January, posting on Facebook: "I guess the news is out!!! I'll be appearing on the season finale of the CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! And singing, too! How fun is that?!"

In the episode, Rebecca's (Rachel Bloom) relationships are tested as she tries to navigate her friendship with Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin), her history with Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) and her connection with Greg (Santino Fontana). While at Josh's sister Jayma's (guest star Tess Paras) wedding, Rebecca's world is turned upside down. Pete Gardner and Vella Lovell also star. Aline Brosh McKenna directed the episode written by Rene Gube.

In the musical-themed comedy, Rachel Bloom stars as Rebecca Bunch, a successful driven, and possibly crazy young woman who impulsively gives up everything in a desperate attempt to find love and happiness...in suburban West Covina, CA.

Tony nominee Santino Fontana plays Greg, a bartender and Rebecca's (Bloom) first friend. The cast also includes actor and comedian McDonald (MADtv) as Darryl, Rebecca's new boss; OBIE and Drama Desk Award winner Champlin (Broadway productions of Billy Elliot, Sweeney Todd) as Paula, her co-worker at the law firm who is suspicious of Rebecca; and Broadway star Rodriguez III (Here Lies Love) who plays Josh, Rebecca's childhood boyfriend who she serendipitously runs into years later, and who acts as the catalyst for her dramatic life change.
