A year and a half ago, it was in no way certain that the quirky musical comedy CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND was going to make it to television. After hitting a developmental snag as a 30-minute pilot for Showtime, creators Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna repackaged the series as a 44-minute show for Showtime's sister network, The CW.
On the Season 2 premiere of CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND titled 'Where Is Josh's Friend?', Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) is convinced Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) is in love with her, while Greg (Santino Fontana) is nowhere to be found.
Broadway stars and a host of musical presentations are on tap for the upcoming 2016-17 primetime television season. Included in THE LINEUP will be new series starring HAMILTON's Christopher Jackson, FROZEN's Kristen Bell and BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY star Stephen Pasquale.
Broadway's Gabrielle Ruiz made the venture from stage to screen last season on The CW's CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND - today, TVLine reports that the IF/THEN and IN THE HEIGHTS alum is sticking around the musical comedy.
The CW Network presented its 2016-17 schedule to advertisers, affiliates and national media at New York City Center in New York City today, kicked off by the rock band Fitz and the Tantrums performing their hit singles “Handclap” and “The Walker.”
On the Season Finale of CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND titled 'Why Is Josh in a Bad Mood?', Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) is hiding a big secret from Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin), which begins to affect their friendship.

CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND is about to get a dose of GLEE.
All eight of the previously aired episodes of The CW's critically acclaimed comedy CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND are now available for streaming (binging) on cwtv.com, The CW App and Hulu.
Earlier this week, West Covina, California honored The CW's musical comedy series CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND, which is set in the town two hours from the beach (four with traffic).

It's been quite a fall for one of Broadway's crowned princes. At the end of August, Santino Fontana finished filming the first season of SHADES OF BLUE, opposite Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta, which premieres on NBC on January 14th. Then, the next day, he married Jessica Hershberg, whom he met backstage at Birdland in 2011, both waiting to perform. The couple, who briefly overlapped as cast members in RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA, then headed to L.A. where Fontana began shooting the new musical comedy CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND. Hershberg, having adopted her married name, just recently headed back to New York to begin rehearsals for the Transport Group's production of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, where she will star opposite Jackie Hoffman (Lady Larkin and Princess Winnifred respectively).
There are a few things that you can say about the new musical-comedy CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND's first two episodes; they have been funny, and they have been crazy. However, as the show's resident heartthrob Vincent Rodriguez III told me, the audience is in for a lot more of both. 'It gets funnier and crazier, believe it or not,' Rodriguez said. 'It's just like this thing that rolls down the hill, and it doesn't stop, it just gets heavier each time.'

It's been a busy year for triple-threat Gabrielle Ruiz. After being a part of the closing cast of Broadway's IF/THEN, she then starred opposite Justin Guarini in Bucks County Playhouse's production of COMPANY, before appearing in the new Off-Broadway musical PIECE OF MY HEART: THE BERT BERNS STORY. Having been a working actress in New York and on National Tours for nearly a decade, as exciting as those shows were, Ruiz new what to expect from the experiences. However, starting tonight, she is in for something completely new. At 8/7 CT, Ruiz makes her debut on The CW's musical comedy CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND as Valenica, the long-term girlfriend of Josh, whom the show's titular ex moves cross country to be near. If you saw last week's premiere, you know that this can only lead to neurotic, slightly unhinged fun.
On the next CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND titled "Josh's Girlfriend Is Really Cool," when Rebecca learns that Josh has a gorgeous yoga instructor girlfriend named Valencia, she is determined to learn everything about her.
