According to TVGuide.com, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is planning a musical episode for later in the season, which is set to be directed by Kevin McKidd. Rhimes referenced Buffy the Vampire Slayer's musical episode saying, "[Ours] is sort of the opposite of that in a weird way,they did an all-out, show-stopping, Broadway kind of musical. This is very different."

Broadway veterans Chandra Wilson and Sara Ramirez will of course play key roles in the upcoming episode, but Rhimes told TVGuide that they are not the ony ones who can belt it out. She added "You will be very surprised to discover that some people sing quite well. That's sort of a little gift to the fans, to discover that people who are not necessarily known for singing have pretty great voices. Also, some people won't be singing because it doesn't go with the story."

"It's definitely a Callie-heavy story, but it's a story that we would've told whether there was singing or not. It's always nice to have a Tony winner on deck to do a little singing."
